obaja

Obaja is a proper noun whose usage is limited and not widely documented in major reference works. In practice, the form is most often encountered as a personal name variant in some language communities, rather than as a common noun or widely recognized term.

Etymology and usage

If used as a given name, Obaja is commonly regarded as a variant or transliteration related to the biblical name Obadiah. Obadiah is of Hebrew origin, typically understood to mean “servant of Yahweh” or “Yahweh is God.” The exact meaning implied by the spelling Obaja depends on linguistic and cultural context, and the form is comparatively rare in mainstream use. When it appears, Obaja is usually a masculine given name rather than a surname or place name, and it has no universally standardized spelling.

Other uses

There are no widely recognized towns, organizations, or widely known concepts that are simply titled “Obaja” in major geographic or cultural references. In most cases where the form appears, it is either a transliteration variant of a longer name or a less common personal name, rather than a distinct, independently defined term.
