### Core Meaning & Semantic Range
The Hebrew proper noun Chaggîyâh (חַגִּיָּה), Strong's number `{{H2293}}`, is derived from two distinct elements: the noun *chag* (חַג), meaning "festival" or "feast," and the theophoric element *Yah* (יָהּ), a shortened form of the divine name Yahweh. Thus, the name Chaggîyâh literally translates to "Festival of Yah" or "My Festival is Yah." This etymology is highly significant, as names in ancient Israel often served as confessional statements, expressing theological truths or commemorating divine acts. The root *chag* (חג) itself conveys the idea of a pilgrimage or a solemn feast, implying joy, celebration, and worship directed towards God. The inclusion of *Yah* grounds this celebration firmly in the worship of the God of Israel. The name therefore encapsulates a profound theological statement: that Yahweh Himself is the source, object, and essence of one's joy and celebration.

And these are they who waited with their children for the service of the house of the Lord at the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and they ministered according to their office. And these are the ones who were appointed: Of the sons of Aaron, of the sons of Kohath, and of the sons of Merari: Heman the son of Joel, the son of Samuel, the son of Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliel, the son of Toah, the son of Zuph, the son of Elkanah, the son of Mahath, the son of Amasai, the son of Elkanah, the son of Joel, the son of Azariah, the son of Zephaniah, the son of Tahath, the son of Assir, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi.
