Origin of Yashar koach is from last rashi of the Torah I think
yashar kochacah se-shibarta.
(talking about the luchot habrit)

Noach. His father's name was Lemech (Bereishis 5:28-29), descended from Shes, and his wife Naama's father was a different Lemech (Bereishis 4:19, 22), descended from Kayin.

Anyway you can find out the answer?

Maroon, I hope you're still checking this thread.
They sent me the gilyon today.
The answer to last week's "who am I" is Chagai Hanavi.

They also included all the sources and explanations. I would never have guessed Chagai.

Here is this week's Who am I?

While Chachmei Yisroel claim who I am, they don't say the same,
As some say the way you read it, was my name.
From the latter, I was the last,
The nation lost this specialty of mine, when I passed.
About the tears of the pious, in my days I screamed,
And I taught the way of tahara for the time when we'll be redeemed.
Who am I?
