Strong's Lexicon Uw'el: Uel Original Word: אוּאֵל Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Uw'el Pronunciation: oo-ale' Phonetic Spelling: (oo-ale') Definition: Uel Meaning: Uel Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אוּ (uw) meaning "to desire" or "to wish" and אֵל (el) meaning "God." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Uw'el in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, names with similar meanings or divine associations might be considered, such as Θεόφιλος (Theophilos, G2321), meaning "friend of God." Usage: The name Uw'el can be understood to mean "Desire of God" or "Wished for by God." It is a personal name used in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a person who is desired or favored by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, names were often given to reflect the character, destiny, or divine purpose of an individual. The name Uw'el, with its connotation of being desired by God, would suggest a person of significance or divine favor. Names incorporating "El" (God) were common, reflecting the theocentric worldview of the Israelites.
