Strong's Lexicon Yechiel or Yechavel: Yechiel Original Word: יְחִיאֵל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָיָה (chayah), meaning "to live" or "to give life," combined with אֵל (El), meaning "God." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Yechiel in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper noun. However, names with similar meanings or themes of life and God might be considered in a broader theological context. Usage: The name Yechiel means "God lives" or "May God live." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a recognition of God's life-giving power and presence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the child's birth. The name Yechiel, emphasizing God's vitality and presence, would have been a testament to the family's faith in God's enduring life and sovereignty. Names incorporating "El" were common, highlighting the centrality of God in the lives of the Israelites.
