Title: Hurricane Yehoyakin
Post by: Binyamin Yisrael on September 30, 2015, 10:43:23 PM: Tamar Yonah posted this on Facebook.

QUESTION:

'Hurricane Joaquin' is set to possibly hit the American east coast on the last day of Sukkot (Hoshana Rabah)*.

How is that the name 'Juaquin' was chosen for the storm?

This is strange, because the name's origin is Hebrew, for Jehoiachin (Jeconiah). In Hebrew the name is written יהויכין - He was the last king of Judea before Zedekiah, who lost his reign, at the destruction of the kingdom by Babylon.

The name 'Joachim' or 'Jehoiachin' in Hebrew means "he whom G-d has set up" or "raised by God".

* The seventh (last) day of Sukkot is called Hoshana Rabbah, and is considered the final day of the divine “judgment” in which the fate of the new year is determined. It is the day when the verdict that was issued on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is finalized.

Thanks to Dov for telling me about this storm.

The real Spanish pronunciation is "Chu akin" or "Chwa kin". The Spanish J makes a Hebrew chet sound.

Any hurricane named after a king of Judah & containing the Tetragrammaton in it is not to be scorned!

I fixed the title. But it seems idiotic the way some people call the name in English. If Yehoyakim is Jehoiakim, then logic would make Yehoyakin be Jehoiakin.
