Jeconiah is Hebrew in Origin.
Jeconiah is a theophoric Hebrew name (Yekhonya/Yekhonyah) built from the verb kun "to establish" and the divine element Yah, yielding the meaning "Yahweh establishes" or "may the Lord establish." It belongs to the class of royal Judean names that invoke Israel's God for stability and legitimacy.
In the Hebrew Bible it identifies the exiled king of Judah, better known in English as Jehoiachin; he appears in 2 Kings 24-25, and in Jeremiah he is also called Coniah, a shortened form. The name enters Christian tradition via the Septuagint and New Testament genealogies as Iechonias/Jechonias (Matthew 1), with Latin Iechonias and later English Jeconiah. Additional variants include Yeconiah, Yekhonya, Jechonias, Coniah, and Spanish/Portuguese Jeconias/Jeconias. While seldom used today, it persists in Jewish and Christian contexts as a learned, biblical choice, carrying an enduring sense of divine establishment.
