The meaning of Gotholias in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
goth-o-li'-as (Gotholias): Father of Josias, one of the sons of Elam who returned from Babylon with Ezra (1 Esdras 8:33). The name corresponds to Athaliah, the Greek Gotholias being substituted for the Hebrew guttural 'ayin, as in Gomorrah, Gaza, etc. Taken with II Kings 11:1, the name would seem to have been used for both men and women.
