[Opinions] Re: Hebrew names meaning 'listens to God'?,
Some names with a similar feel.
Abdiel - "servant of God"
Abiel - "God is my father"
Elijah - "my God is Yahweh"
Elisha - "my God is salvation"More Hebrew Biblical names seem to put the emphasis on what God has done/ does than on what man does for God. Maybe they don't want a name to be self-aggrandizing? I'm not sure about the cultural reasons, but it does seem common.Samuel - "God hears"
Ishmael - "God will hear",
Adaiah - "Yahweh has adorned"
Amaziah - "Yahweh strengthens"
Anaiah - "Yahweh has answered"
Azarel - "God has helped"
Jedidiah - "beloved of Yahweh"
Aziel - "God comforts"
Benaiah - "Yahweh has built"
Daniel - "God is my judge"
Ezekiel - "God will strengthen"
Jonathan - "Yahweh has given"
Josiah - "Yahweh supports"
etc...
