Meaning & History

Biblical Hebrew name of uncertain meaning, possibly "God answers" (making it an equivalent of Anaiah, using el "God" as the second element as opposed to yah "Yahweh"); alternatively the first element may be related to chanah "favour, grace" (making it a relative of Hananiah and perhaps a form of Hanniel or Channiel). This name is mentioned only briefly in the Apocrypha (Tobit 1:21) belonging to a brother of Tobit. In Jewish tradition Anael is an angel (also known as Aniel or Hanael), often named as one of the seven archangels and associated with the planet Venus.
