However, the concept of God's pleasantness or delightfulness can be related to Greek words like χάρις (charis, meaning "grace" or "favor").<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The name Elnaam means "God is pleasant" or "God is delightful." It is used as a proper name for a person in the Hebrew Bible, indicating a recognition of God's pleasantness or delightfulness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the birth of the child. The name Elnaam, incorporating the divine name "El," suggests a theophoric element, indicating a connection or dedication to God. This reflects the cultural importance of acknowledging God's attributes in personal names.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/410.htm">el</a> and <a href="/hebrew/5276.htm">naem</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"God is pleasantness," the father of two of David's heroes<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Elnaam (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֶלְנָ֑עַם</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<em>God is pleasantness</em>) father of two of David's heroes <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/11-46.htm">1 Chronicles 11:46</a> (not in Samuel). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Elnaam <p>From <a href="/hebrew/410.htm">'el</a> and <a href="/hebrew/5276.htm">na'em</a>; God (is his) delight; Elnaam, an Israelite -- Elnaam. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/410.htm">'el</a> <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/5276.htm">na'em</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>אֶלְנָ֑עַם אלנעם ’el·nā·‘am ’elnā‘am elNaam<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/1_chronicles/11-46.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Chronicles 11:46</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/11.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וְיוֹשַׁוְיָ֖ה בְּנֵ֣י <b> אֶלְנָ֑עַם </b> וְיִתְמָ֖ה הַמּוֹאָבִֽי׃</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/1_chronicles/11.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> the sons <span class="itali">of Elnaam,</span> and Ithmah<br><a href="/kjvs/1_chronicles/11.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> the sons <span class="itali">of Elnaam,</span> and Ithmah<br><a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/11-46.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> and Joshaviah the sons <span class="itali">of Elnaam</span> and Ithmah the Moabite<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_493.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_493.htm">Strong's Hebrew 493<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/elnaam_493.htm">’el·nā·‘am — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/492.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="492"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="492" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/494.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="494"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="494" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
