Hebrew is the first language of the Bible and has many popular names used by Jews and Christians. Some names are also associated with Islam as mentioned in the Quran. Most of the Hebrew names are borrowed from other languages including Aramaic, Egyptian, Canaanite or Phoenician.
Some Hebrew names contain theophoric names that embed the name of God with the suffix, ‘el.’ Examples, Gabriel (man of God) and Micheal (who is like God).
