Meaning and etymology of the Hebrew name Eleasah

| | |
Eleasah 
The name Eleasah occurs four times in the Bible: Eleasah is the name of a man from Judah (1 Chronicles 2:39), a Benjaminite (1 Chronicles 8:37), a priest who divorced his foreign wife during the purge of Ezra (Ezra 10:22) and a postman who delivered Jeremiah's letter to the exiles in Babylon (Jeremiah 29:3).
The name Eleasah consists of two elements. The first element is  (El), the common abbreviation of Elohim, the genus God. The second element comes from the verb  ('asa), meaning to do, fashion, accomplish. The obvious noun derived from this verb is  (ma'aseh), meaning work or deed.
The name Eleasah means God Has Made (NOBS Study Bible Name List) or Whom God Made (BDB Theological Dictionary) and is the reversal of the name Asahel, Made By God.
