Strong's Lexicon
Eliphelehu: Eliphelehu

Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Eliyphlehuw
Pronunciation: eh-lee-feh-LEH-hoo
Phonetic Spelling: (el-ee-fe-lay'-hoo)
Definition: Eliphelehu

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אֵל (El, meaning "God") and פֶּלֶא (pele, meaning "wonder" or "miracle"), with the suffix הוּ (hu, meaning "He" or "His").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Eliphelehu in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the concept of God's miraculous power is echoed in Greek terms like δύναμις (dynamis, Strong's Greek 1411), meaning "power" or "miracle."

Usage: The name Eliphelehu can be understood to mean "God is a miracle" or "God of wonders." 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 the character of God or to commemorate a divine act. The use of theophoric names like Eliphelehu was a way to express faith and reliance on God's power and presence. Such names served as a constant reminder of God's attributes and His involvement in the lives of His people.
