Comments (Meaning / History Only)
For those of you who are skeptical about how it is the name of a country, it was the name of a person- the country is named after the person.

The hieroglyphics in Ancient Egypt read "Isis", "Ra", and "El."

If you're bashing this name because it's also the name of the country and because of anti-semitism or whatever, just remember that the country was named after the name. "Israel" was a Biblical given name long before the State of Israel got its name. As the history itself states, "The ancient and modern states of Israel took their names from him".

"He who fights with God and wins" is the proper Hebrew to English translation.

More like "He who fights with God and God lets him win." LOL. Is-ra-el was just a shorter way to say all that. :D Jacob still limped afterward, though.

It does not mean "Prince of God" (where do you get this stuff?), it means "one who wrestled with God".
