The second part of the name, י (yod), is also of uncertain meaning. It can make the word an adjective, become possesive, or may be referring to Yahweh. The most accepted meaning for this name is "child of Yah" or "child of the Lord".In the Bible, Naarai is one of David's warriors and the son of Ezbai.
