Meaning & History
An obscure biblical name possibly derived from Hebrew יָכֹל (yachol) meaning "to be able, have power". It is mentioned only in Proverbs 30:1 (http://bible.cc/proverbs/30-1.htm), in which it is apparently the name of a person to whom Agur's words are addressed. Early interpreters considered Ucal and the other names the verse mentions, Agur and Ithiel to be proper names; others believe they are symbolic for descriptive characters.
