Iah First Name Meaning

Iah is a male name of Egyptian origin, meaning "The Moon." In ancient Egyptian religion, Iah was a lunar deity and was sometimes considered an adult form of Khonsu. Over time, Iah became Iah-Djehuty, meaning "god of the new moon," assuming the lunar aspect of Thoth. As a prominent figure in the New Kingdom, Iah was associated with lunar symbols and occasionally depicted similarly to Khonsu. Additionally, Iah was assimilated with Osiris, the god of the dead, possibly due to the Moon's monthly cycle appearing to renew itself. The name Iah is linked to the lunar aspect, knowledge, writing, and calculation, reflecting its deep historical and religious significance in Egyptian culture.
