Strong's Lexicon Yathniel: Jathniel Original Word: יַתְנִיאֵל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָתַן (yathan), meaning "to give," combined with אֵל (El), meaning "God." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yathniel in the Strong's Greek Dictionary. However, the concept of "God gives" can be related to Greek names like Theodoros (Θεόδωρος), which means "gift of God." Usage: The name Yathniel means "God gives" or "given by God." It is a theophoric name, incorporating the divine name "El," which is a common element in Hebrew names, signifying a relationship or attribute of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect circumstances of birth, parental hopes, or divine attributes. The use of "El" in names signifies the importance of God in the life and identity of the individual. Names like Yathniel would have been a reminder of God's providence and blessing.
