Seen by Yahweh or God is my teacher
Moriya is a Hebrew name most famously associated with Mount Moriah, the site where Abraham was commanded to sacrifice Isaac and later the location of Solomon's Temple. It is often interpreted as meaning 'seen by God' or 'chosen by God'. In modern contexts, it is sometimes used as a variant of the Japanese name Moriya, though the Hebrew origin is more common in the West.
