Meaning and etymology of the name Jozabad

|

Jozabad 
Jozabad is the contracted form of the name Jehozabad, and there are quite a few men named Jozabad in the Bible, so many even that it's impossible to determine where the one stops and the other begins. The first batch of Jozabads we meet are among David's mighty men: one Jozabad of Geder (1 Chronicles 12:4) and two of Manasseh (v20). The next batch are:
an overseer mentioned in relation to the reforms of king Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 31:13), who's probably the same as the Jozabad who worked during the reign of Josiah (2 Chronicles 35:9). Then there is Jozabad, a son of Jeshua the high priest (Ezra 8:33),
who might be the same as the one mentioned in Ezra 10:22 and/or v23, among those who had acquired foreign wives (see v18). Nehemiah mentions a Jozabad twice (8:7 and 11:16), and they might be one or two men, and they might or might not be the same as those mentioned by Ezra.
The name Jozabad consists of two elements. The first element is  , Jah, which in turn is an abbreviated form of the Tetragrammaton  , YHWH, or Yahweh.
Leah names her son Zebulun.
