Meaning and etymology of the name Jokim

Jokim 
There's one man named Jokim in the Bible, but this name is one of two existing contracted forms of the name Jehoiakim; the other being Joiakim.
The only Jokim mentioned in the Bible is a son of Shelah of Judah (1 Chronicles 4:22).
The name Jokim consists of two elements:
1) The name  , Jah, which in turn is an abbreviated form of the name  , YHWH, or Yahweh.
This verb also exists in Aramaic, as shown in Mark 5:41. Jesus uses it when He raises Jairus' daughter from the dead by saying, "talitha kum".
For a meaning of the name Jokim, NOBS Study Bible Name List suggests Yahweh Raises Up and BDB Theological Dictionary proposes the similar Yah Raiseth Up.
Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names suggests The Lord Will Set Up.
Other names derived of the verb qum are
Adonikam,
Ahikam,
Azrikam,
Adonikam,
Jakim,
Jekameam,
Jekamiah,
Jokmeam,
Kamon,
Kemuel and
Koa, and perhaps Achim.
