      But it was equivalent to being named "John" and having people think it was somehow more respectful to call you "Jonathan" all the time People get my name right more since I transitioned

      John and Jonathan are in fact different names, the H in John is because it's short for Yohanan (which is why in German it's "Johannes" and gets shortened to "Hans")

      Yeah, Jonathan is related to Nathan, I think.

      "Nathan" is "he gives" and "Jonathan" is specifically "God gives", like "John" is "God is gracious" and "Joshua" is "God saves" The "Jo-" particle is the shortening of YHWH for God's name, like the "jah" in "Hallelujah" ("Praise YHWH")

      Same name, different form, I think. "El" is a name for God like "Jo/Jah," although I don't know the grammatical reason to have it at the end.

      Yeah "El" is just the word "god" as opposed to YHWH being the special name God revealed to Moses on Mt. Sinai "Elohim" means "the gods", when Muslims call God "Allah" ("The God") it's their way of saying naming him at all is blasphemy

      Anyway I don't know that there's a specific meaning in Hebrew of putting the noun before or after the verb, I looked it up and it says it's the same thing (and "Elnathan" is a rare variant of "Nathaniel")

      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"

      Replying to @mssilverstein @arthur_affect and

      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.

      Right, which comes from an actual god named Baal Zebul, Lord of the Manor, and then was turned into a mean pun And like many random puns survived into Christian mythology as this whole evocative thing

          I *just* realized that I have 'baal' in my display name right now. Baal ska tov = "master of the good ska." Based on the Baal Shem Tov, the 17th century mystic who was "master of the good name"

          Yeah - and I mean, it is a pretty good one. What do the flies worship? Well, dungheaps, of course.
