My-kin-is-El
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; theophoric compound of עַם (with 1cs suffix "-i," my) + אֵל. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines עַמִּי ("my kinsman/my people") from the root עם with אֵל (El, God), forming a theophoric personal name meaning "My kin is El." The rendering preserves both the possessive element and the divine name without reducing it to a mere transliteration. |
