Meaning and etymology of the name Jaasu
|
|
|
| |
Jaasu 
The name Jaasu occurs only one time in the Bible. He's a son of Bani and is mentioned among the men who had married and would divorce their foreign wives during the purge of Ezra (Ezra 10:37). In the majority text, this name is spelled as  (Jaasi) but Masoretic scholars changed it to (Jaasu) for unknown reasons.
The pre-fixed letter yod makes the verb active: he will asa, and the post-fixed yod would generally denote a possessive: asa of [someone]. The final yod may also be seen as a remnant of  , Jah, which in turn is an abbreviated form of the Tetragrammaton; the name of the Lord: YHWH.
For a meaning of the name Jaasu, NOBS Study Bible Name List reads Yahweh Makes.
Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names proposes Made Of The Lord.
