Conyah is English in Origin.

Conyah is a modern Anglicized spin on the biblical name Coniah, a shortened form of Jeconiah (Hebrew Yəḵonyāh/Yekonyah). Built from the root kun “to establish” plus the theophoric -yah referring to the divine name, it carries the meaning “Yahweh establishes,” often rendered “established by God” or “God will uphold.” The -yah ending in the contemporary spelling makes the sacred element explicit and gives the name a lyrical, modern profile.

Coniah/Jeconiah appears in the Hebrew Bible as a king of Judah during the early Babylonian exile, so the name has long currency in Jewish and Christian tradition, though it remains uncommon in English. Conyah today is rare and sometimes treated as unisex. Variants and related forms include Coniah, Konyah, Conya, Jeconiah, Jaconiah, and the throne name Jehoiachin; shorter nicknames such as Coni or Nia occasionally occur.
