Strong's Lexicon Eliab: Eliab Original Word: אֱלִיאָב Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and אָב (av, meaning "father") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Eliab in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of God as Father is echoed in Greek terms like πατήρ (patēr, Strong's G3962). Usage: The name Eliab means "God is my father" or "My God is father." It is used as a personal name for several individuals in the Old Testament, signifying a recognition of God's paternal role and authority. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect personal faith, divine attributes, or familial heritage. The name Eliab, with its acknowledgment of God as a father, would have been a testament to the individual's or family's devotion to Yahweh. The use of such a name indicates the importance of divine relationship and identity in the community.
