Names in Tanach
Question
What is in common religiously with the name dovid, nechemyah and netanyahu?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
There is no connection between these names. The names mean very different things and they were very different people.
I will also add that the name "Netanyahu" is not found in Tanach. The word/name "Netanyahu" is a derivation of the name "Netanya" which is indeed found in Tanach. Netanya was the son of Asaf who was one of the musicians appointed by King David to play music in the Temple (1 Chronicles 25:2, 12).
