1177. Baal Chanan
Strong's Lexicon
Baal Chanan: Baal-Hanan

Original Word: בַּעַל חָנָן
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Baal Chanan
Pronunciation: bah-ahl khaw-nawn'
Phonetic Spelling: (bah'-al khaw-nawn')
Definition: Baal-Hanan
Meaning: Baal-Chanan

Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בַּעַל (Baal) meaning "lord" or "master" and חָנָן (Chanan) meaning "gracious" or "favored."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Baal-Hanan in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name specific to the Old Testament context.

Usage: The name Baal-Hanan means "Baal is gracious" or "lord of grace." It is used as a proper name for two individuals in the Old Testament. The name reflects a common practice in ancient Israel of incorporating the name of a deity or divine attribute into personal names, signifying a relationship or characteristic attributed to the individual.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, names often held significant meaning and were believed to reflect the character or destiny of a person. The inclusion of "Baal" in the name Baal-Hanan indicates the cultural influence of Canaanite religion, where Baal was a prominent deity. However, the use of such names does not necessarily imply the worship of Baal by the Israelites, as names were often retained even after religious reforms.
