Meaning and background
The story behind Uriah
Uriah is a Hebrew biblical name with a different derivation from the shorter Uri. The Hebrew form contains a divine-name element and is interpreted as 'Yahweh is my light'. In the Old Testament, Uriah the Hittite was the husband of Bathsheba and a soldier in King David's army. Those narrative details explain the name's cultural history but do not turn the story into a personality description for a dog.
