Meaning and history

This name comes from the Hebrew name נְתַנְאֵל (Neṯanʾel) meaning "God has given", from the roots נָתַן ( naṯan ) meaning "to give" and אֵל ( ʾel ) meaning "God". It is borne by several minor characters in the Old Testament, typically spelled Nethanel or Nethaneel. In the New Testament this is the name of an apostle, probably another name of the apostle called Bartholomew.
