Who-Is-What-God-Is (masculine proper name)
| Root | מי־אל (m-y / ʾ-l) |
| Core Meanings | who?, what?, God, Mighty One |
| Semantic Range | Personal name meaning "Who is what God is?"; conveys the idea of divine incomparability or uniqueness. |
| Conceptual Significance | The name expresses a confession of the incomparability and supremacy of אֵל (God). Like similar theophoric names, it functions as a testimony embedded in personal identity, affirming that none is comparable to Israel’s God. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew proper noun (HNp), masculine singular personal name; compound form from interrogative מִי and the divine title אֵל, with an implied relative element. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines מִי ("who?") with אֵל ("God") and reflects a rhetorical question about God's incomparability—"Who is what God is?" As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering preserves its personal-name function while expressing the full theological sense embedded in the components. |
