Strong-One
| Root | חיל (ḥ-y-l) |
| Core Meanings | strength, might, valor, capacity, wealth, force |
| Semantic Range | Denotes strength, valor, military capability, efficiency, or wealth depending on context; as a personal name, it embodies the idea of one characterized by strength or might. |
| Conceptual Significance | As the father of Eliab of the tribe of Zebulun (Numbers 1:9; 2:7; 7:24; 10:16), this name reflects the biblical pattern of embedding covenantal hopes and character traits—such as strength and valor—within personal names, linking identity with the attribute of might granted by Elohim. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew proper noun, masculine singular (HNp); personal name formed from the root חיל with nominal ending; no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root חיל (ḥ-y-l), conveying strength or valor. As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering "Strong-One" preserves both the root meaning and the grammatical singular masculine form inherent in the personal name. |
