The word "Athaiah" has Hebrew origins and is derived from the name אֲתַיָּה (Atayah). In Hebrew, it is a combination of two elements: "atah" meaning "you" and "Yah" which is the abbreviated form of Yahweh, the Hebrew name of God. Therefore, "Athaiah" can be understood to mean "Yahweh is with you" or "God is my support". It is a biblical name found in the Old Testament.
