Strong's Lexicon
Channiel: Channiel
Original Word: חַנִּיאֵל
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Channiy'el
Pronunciation: khan-nee-EL
Phonetic Spelling: (khan-nee-ale')
Definition: Channiel
Meaning: Channiel
Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: חָנַן (chanan, meaning "to be gracious" or "to show favor") and אֵל (El, meaning "God").
Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Channiel in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the concept of grace, which is central to the name Channiel, is often represented by the Greek word χάρις (charis, Strong's Greek 5485).
Usage: Channiel means "God is gracious" or "favored by God." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying the grace and favor bestowed by God upon an individual.
Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect the character, destiny, or divine favor upon an individual. The name Channiel, incorporating the divine name "El," underscores the belief in God's active role in bestowing grace and favor. This reflects the broader theological theme in the Hebrew Bible of God's graciousness towards His people.
