Berajah is Hebrew in Origin.

Berajah is a rare masculine given name of Hebrew origin, a transliteration of Beraiah/Berayah (Hebrew: Bərāyāh). It combines the verb root bara’ “to create” with the theophoric element -yah “Yahweh,” yielding the meaning “Yahweh has created” or “created by God.” The -jah/-iah ending aligns it with other Hebrew theophoric names and signals close connection to the divine name.

The name appears in the Hebrew Bible (rendered in some English translations as Beraiah) within the genealogical lists of Chronicles, which helped conserve it in Jewish tradition and later carried it into occasional Christian use, especially among Puritans who favored lesser-known scriptural names. Variants and transliterations include Beraiah, Berayah, Beraja(h) (German-influenced), and Beraías (Spanish/Portuguese Bible forms). While never common, Berajah appeals today for its strong theological sense and distinctive sound; it should not be confused with Berechiah/Berachiah (“Yahweh blesses”), a different Hebrew name.
