Baʿal-Ḥanan (Master-of-Grace)
| Root | בעל (b-ʿ-l) |
| Core Meanings | ownership, lordship, mastery, possession, authority |
| Semantic Range | lord, master, owner, husband; as a theophoric element in names indicating association with lordship or a deity identified as Baʿal |
| Conceptual Significance | The element בַּעַל reflects ancient Near Eastern concepts of lordship and divine mastery. In personal names such as Baʿal-Ḥanan, it can signify allegiance to or acknowledgment of a deity characterized as "lord," highlighting the cultural and religious milieu in which divine favor and authority were closely linked. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; compound name formed from בַּעַל in construct with חָנָן ("he has shown favor"). Occurs in both absolute and construct references as a personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines בַּעַל (master, possessor, lord) in masculine singular form with חָנָן (to show favor, be gracious) in construct relationship, yielding "Master-of-Grace" or "Possessor of Favor." The rendering preserves the root sense of ownership/lordship inherent in בעל and reflects its masculine singular proper noun form. |
