Re: Benuel
in reply to a message by essie
I could only find a single page with some info, and it's unclear whether the info about Benuel as a combination of Benjamin and Samuel is corect:

However while Googling around I got the impression that both Benjamin and Samuel are popular among the Amish, so maybe this is not so farfetched.
Do the Amish have a custom of combining names sometimes?

if they do, it's not very common because that's the first time I've seen it myself, not that I'm an expert on Amish culture but I haven't read or seen anything about that.
Thank you for the link though, you're probably right that it's just a combination of Benjamin and Samuel :)

There is also the name Penuel (some persons and places in the bible). It may be misheard as Benuel.
