Re: Searching For Name
In Hebrew there is
ELKANA, m. (1 Sam 1), which can mean "God has bought", but usually is translated "God has created" (the verb "qanah" can mean both)
YERUSHA, f. (2. Chr 27,1), "taken in possession"
Names containing BA'AL (owner) usually have a different meaning.
NECHALYA, f.? I just made this one up, but it would also mean "the Lord owns"Andy ;—)
