Asaiah 
The name Asaiah is assigned to five different men in the Bible. The first Asaiah we meet is a family leader of the tribe of Simeon (1 Chronicles 4:36). The second is a son of Haggiah, descendants of Merari of Levi (1 Chronicles 6:30). This Asaiah is possibly the same as the one(s) mentioned in 1 Chronicles 15:6 and v11, but not the same as the Asaiah mentioned in 1 Chronicles 9:5. Finally, there is Asaiah the servant of king Josiah, who is part of the contingent that is to establish the value of a scroll found in the temple. The group ends up in the house of Huldah the prophetess (2 Kings 22:12).
The name Asaiah consists of two elements:
2) The name Aasiah ends with  , Jah, which in turn is an abbreviated form of the Tetragrammaton; the name of the Lord: YHWH.
For a meaning of the name Asaiah, NOBS Study Bible Name List reads Yahweh Has Made. Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names proposes Made Of Jehovah.
