נְתַנְאֵל

# Nethanel: A Biblical Name with Limited Attestation Nethanel (נְתַנְאֵל) is a Hebrew proper name appearing only once in the biblical text. As a proper noun, it functions as a personal identifier rather than a word with semantic range or variable usage. The name itself appears to be a theophoric construction—a name incorporating a divine element—though the lexicon data provided does not specify its exact etymological components or intended meaning. The single occurrence of this name in Scripture means we cannot establish patterns of usage or determine what role this individual played in biblical narrative or tradition. Without additional context from the lexicon entry regarding which biblical passage contains this occurrence, or supplementary historical information, we cannot assess whether Nethanel held religious, military, familial, or other significance. The name's uniqueness in the biblical corpus suggests either that this individual was relatively minor in the tradition or that it represents a variant spelling of a more commonly attested name.
