Maaseiah is Hebrew in Origin.

Maaseiah is a theophoric Hebrew name, from Ma‘aseyahu/Ma‘aseyah (root ma‘aseh, “work/deed,” + Yah, the divine name). It conveys “work of the LORD,” “deed of Yahweh,” or “made by Yahweh.” The name appears repeatedly across the Hebrew Bible, underscoring its devotional tone and its association with temple service and royal administration.

Several bearers include priests and Levites in Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah; a city governor under Josiah (2 Chronicles 34:8); signatories to the covenant renewal (Nehemiah 10); and “Maaseiah the king’s son,” slain during the Syro‑Ephraimite crisis (2 Chronicles 28:7). Entering English via the King James tradition, Maaseiah remains rare but appealing to parents seeking distinctive scriptural names in Jewish and Christian contexts. Variants and transliterations include Maaseyah, Ma‘aseiah, Maaseia, and the longer Hebrew Maaseyahu; some English Bibles also attest the related form Maasai/Maasiai. Typically masculine, though occasionally used unisex today.
