מִ/יִּשְׂרָאֵ֔ל
𐤌/𐤉𐤔𐤓𐤀𐤋
Yiserael
from Israel
A personal name meaning 'El (God) perseveres' or 'El contends.' Primarily denotes the eponymous ancestor Jacob after his theophoric renaming (Gen 32:29), and, by extension, the collective group descended from him—the Israelite people. In broader contexts, it refers to the entire body politic of the Israelites, to their territory, or to the national entity in the historical periods up to and including the divided monarchy. In later texts, it may be used poetically or symbolically for the faithful segment of the people, or for the land associated with them.
