Berean Strong's Lexicon Malkiel: Malkiel Original Word: מַלְכִּיאֵל Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: מֶלֶךְ (melek, meaning "king") and אֵל (El, meaning "God"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Malkiel in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of God as king is echoed in Greek terms like βασιλεύς (basileus, meaning "king") and θεός (theos, meaning "God"). Usage: Malkiel means "God is my king" or "King of God." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a recognition of God's sovereignty and kingship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often carried significant meanings and were reflective of personal faith or familial heritage. The name Malkiel, incorporating both "king" and "God," suggests a deep acknowledgment of divine authority and possibly a dedication to living under God's rule. This reflects the theocratic nature of Israelite society, where God was seen as the ultimate ruler.
