My Mighty One

Rootאל (ʾ-l)
Core Meaningsstrength, might, power, mighty one, deity
Semantic RangeGod, mighty one, strong one, deity, power; in names, a theophoric element meaning "Mighty One" or "God."
Conceptual Significanceאֵל emphasizes God as the Mighty One, highlighting divine strength and supremacy. As both a common noun for God and a component in personal names, it reflects Israel’s confession of YHWH as the ultimate source of power and the personal relationship implied in expressions such as "My Mighty One."
Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun; frequently appears in construct with 1cs pronominal suffix ("-i," "my"). Also occurs as a proper masculine singular name (Eli), retaining the theophoric element from אֵל.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אֵל (ʾêl) derives from the root conveying strength and might. In the form marked HNcmsc/Sp1cs, it is a masculine singular noun in construct with a first person common singular suffix, literally "God of me" or "my Mighty One," which preserves both the root sense of strength and the grammatical possession. As a proper noun (HNp), Eli carries the same meaning embedded in a personal name.
