The name of our son is Hyzvhann Hyzydyll (read as Hezvan Hezedel). Many are wondering how did we get the name, what does it mean and how to read it. Some jokingly commented that maybe I hate the vowels and some named him the consonant baby...he..he..he. The name was given by his grandfather (my father). We told him that it will be an honor for us if he could give the name of their first grandson. Actually, my father is the one who give us our names-from the eldest (it's me) 'till the 14th child (our youngest). We all have two given names like me I'm named after the combination of my parent's name-Benoni and Geneditha. The result is "Genebei" plus their chosen name for me, Faith = Genebei Faith. I noticed that all of us had great and unique names especially our youngest which is named Doxagennes Keilah. Each of our names has corresponding meanings.
Hyzvhann is a modified name of the hebrew vocabulary Heshvan (Cheshvan). Heshvan (Cheshvan) or Mar Cheshvan is the second month of the civil year year and the eighth month of the ecclesiastical on the Hebrew calendar. Heshvan has 29 or 30 Days in it. Heshvan usually occurs in October - November on the civil calendar. My father chose this name because I'm expecting to deliver on the 2nd week of October.
The second name Hyzydyll is actually first spelled as Hesedel but we changed it to the later to make it more modernized and unique. The root word "Hesed"is a hebrew word translated into a variety of terms in English. These include favor, grace and loving-kindness. According to Vine's Expository Dictionary, "The entire history of [God's] covenantal relationship with Israel can be summarized in terms of hesed." In other words, "covenant loyalty." Covenant loyalty, while it may seem an odd expression, refers to action done out of a loving heart. If we are acting in love toward others, we seek their best interests and not merely our own. The life of Ruth shows that even when it appears as if we have nothing going for us, our own loving service may be repaid to us in ways that we cannot predict.
My father chose this name not only for its uniqueness but the blessed message it carries. I believe that this name came not as an accident but a name revealed by our Heavenly Father to remind us of his faithfulness and loving kindness.

To each his own ang eksena Genebei! I'll stick to Hyzyd para safe ako. Pwede pang toungue twist kasi kapag binaggit ng buo. Mahina ako dun. :)
ReplyDeleteI dearly hope that little Hyzyd will grow up as someone who would believe in God's promise of eternal life.
This is the true Biblical name. You are blessed to have a father who is well-verse with biblical history.
