However, the concept of God's grace is reflected in Greek terms such as χάρις (charis, Strong's G5485), meaning "grace" or "favor."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The name Elchanan means "God is gracious" or "God has been gracious." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying the favor and grace of God bestowed upon an individual.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the child's birth. The name Elchanan, emphasizing God's grace, would have been a testament to the parents' acknowledgment of divine favor. Names with the element "El" (God) were common, reflecting the theocentric worldview of the Israelites.<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/2603.htm">chanan</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"God has been gracious," two of David's leaders<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Elhanan (4).<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">אֶלְחָנָן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<em>God has been gracious</em>, compare Phoenician <font class="hebrew2">אלחנן</font>, <font class="hebrew2">בעלחנן</font>, in Assyrian <i><em>Ba'al—anunu</em></i> COT <a href="/interlinear/genesis/10-18.htm">Genesis 10:18</a>) two of David's chiefs <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/21-19.htm">2 Samuel 21:19</a> = <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/20-5.htm">1 Chronicles 20:5</a>;
