My deadname was like that, a name mostly commonly occurring as a short nickname, but it was just my name, and I constantly had to deal with people using the long version Despite the "short" version that was my legal name being *a book of the Bible*

It may be dialect, I'm not sure. The text is assembled from multiple varieties of Hebrew and Aramaic, so there's some muddling. You also see some -baal versions, which is literally 'lord,' and refers to God in some contexts, but usually ends up as a pagan god "baal"

When it's a pagan god, there's usually another word attached, like "Baal Hadad" and "Baal Hammon." And of course, Baal Zebub, or Beelzebub: the lord of the flies.

Hebrew has the noun-verb flipped from what's common in English usually

Also in Hebrew the verbs are gendered - so a name like 'El-Natan' is masculine
