Yahweh has persisted or prince of God
Derived from the Hebrew name Serayah, it is composed of elements meaning 'to persist' or 'to fight' and 'Yah,' referring to God. In the Old Testament, it is the name of several men, including a high priest and a scribe to King David. Though historically masculine in biblical texts, it has transitioned into a rare feminine choice in the US, often seen as a melodic alternative to Sarah or Seraphina.
