Does the last syllable of the name Hillel mean God like for example in the name Michael?

According to https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H1985&t=KJV and Strong's Concordance, that particular |-el| is not a suffix meaning "God," but part of the root word, meaning "praising." God IS the implied recipient (of said praise), however.
It is the same root word as Hallelujah, which DOES end in God's name, Yah.
