Strong's Lexicon Chiel: Hiel Original Word: חִיאֵל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָיָה (chayah), meaning "to live" or "to be alive." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Chiel, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of "life" or "living" is captured in Greek by the word ζωή (zoe), Strong's Greek #2222. Usage: The name "Chiel" means "God lives" or "God is life." It is used as a proper noun to refer to a specific individual in the Bible. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the birth. The name Chiel, meaning "God lives," could indicate a declaration of faith or a reminder of God's presence and sustenance.
