Hebrew Vocabulary for God and the Gods
In the ancient world, Hebrews like to give their children what are called theophoric names. This means that they have the name of a deity imbedded in the child's name. They also did the same thing in israel, where you get names like michael, daniel and elijah. The high count tocro sensi ec, you may call me anice,. It means noble strength, m um. Daniel, it means a god is my judge. And elijah, or eliya, follows a similar pattern. L means god; e makes it possessive, so eli my god. So elijah orEliya, means my god is away.
