Re: Caleb
Never thought/heard of that.And I don't think it makes much sense because then the name would probably have a double L (ëììá?)

No idea, it was in a Hebrew names book. Maybe it's wrong.

Well, the interpretation of the sound of the heart is definitely wrong - sound/voice is spelled with a kuf ÷ and the name with a caf ë.And I checked, and Caleb doesn't even have a dagesh in the L - so there's no sign that the name Caleb was ever two words. Thus, this theory about it meaning "all the heart"/"sound of the heart" seems wrong.
