Strong's Lexicon Elnaam: Elnaam Original Word: אֶלְנַעַם Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and נָעִים (na'im, meaning "pleasant" or "delightful"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Elnaam in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the concept of God's pleasantness or delightfulness can be related to Greek words like χάρις (charis, meaning "grace" or "favor"). Usage: The name Elnaam means "God is pleasant" or "God is delightful." It is used as a proper name for a person in the Hebrew Bible, indicating a recognition of God's pleasantness or delightfulness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the birth of the child. The name Elnaam, incorporating the divine name "El," suggests a theophoric element, indicating a connection or dedication to God. This reflects the cultural importance of acknowledging God's attributes in personal names.
