"names referring to Hadad, a Canaanite deity, by the epiphet Baal"

'epiphet' is not in my dictionary. Is this a typo for epithet?

"Where's Kal-El?"
not yet. give some thinking time. FrummerThanThou 19:15, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The meanings of "Ariel" and "Arael" are mixed up. At least according to behindthename.com. Ariel should mean lion of god and Arael should mean light of god.

How come everyone else seems to use theoPHONIC and not theophoric when describing these sorts of names? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.146.111.128 (talk) 23:00, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hellas[edit]

This name is different, since the El is inside and not at the end. Furthermore whoever added it did so at the end of the list and not alphabetically. I have left it in for now. 75.157.27.217 (talk) 00:20, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adding El Names[edit]

I am contemplating adding the following El names and references:

El Chaiyai - The God of my Life
El-Channun - The Gracious God
El De'ot - The God of Knowledge
El Echad - The One God
El Elyon - The Most High God
El Emet - The God of Truth
El Erekh Apayim avi ha-tanchumim - The God of all patience and consolation
El Gibbor - The Mighty God
El Haggadol - The Great God
El Hakkadosh - The Holy God
El Hakkavod - The God of Glory
El Hanne'eman - The Faithful God
El Hannora - The Awesome God
El Hashamayim - The God of the Heavens
El-Kanno - The Jealous God
El malei Rachamim - God full of mercy or All merciful God
El Olam - God Everlasting
El Rachum - The God of Compassion
El Roi - God Who Sees Me
El Sali - God of my Strength
El Shaddai - The All Sufficient God
El Tsaddik - The Rightuous God
El Yeshuatenu - The God of our Salvation
El Yeshuati - The God of my Salvation
El Yeshurun - The God of Jeshurun
El Yisreal - The God of Israel

Any suggestions or problems? --Logiboy123 (talk) 01:21, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think these belong here because they are names of gods (or aspects of the god El, depending on your interpretation), rather than names of people which incorporate the name El. Fitzburgh (talk) 22:13, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They aren't theophory. In the same way that Penisland and Pen Island are distinct. Newman Luke (talk) 22:03, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
