Comments for OTHNIEL:
'Ariel' also means 'lion of God' according to this site.-- Katheros 8/1/2007
If other poeple didn't exactly like the name, they could still give him the name; just call him Niel most of the time. Neat name.-- lowcal historyan 1/15/2008
It's pronounced "oht-nee-EL" in Hebrew, not "aht-ni-EL." The vowel that's usually pronounced "ah" becomes "oh" under certain circumstances (closed, unaccented syllable). That's why the name is written in English with an "O".-- RebDeb 2/27/2008
A famous bearer of this name was Othniel Charles Marsh, a well-known 19th century American paleontologist:

Othniel was the brother of Caleb, not his nephew (See Joshua 15:16-17; Judges 1:13). He was also one of the first Judges. I think it's a lovely refreshing name.-- Anonymous User 10/13/2010
