Help[Facts] Re: Rachel and other -el names
in reply to a message by Rae
It's the Aleph. Rachel doesn't have one, and the Hebrew word for God is El (Aleph-Lamed). Aleph represents a soft guttural sound to open a vowel. When the Greeks adapted the Phoenician alphabet, they took the Aleph for a vowel: A.
Now Yael has a similar sound, but a different character: Ayin. So no God in that name either.
Does this help?
