Nathanael

Nathanael is a masculine name of Hebrew origin, meaning "God has given." This moniker appears several times in the Hebrew Bible and is also borne by one of Jesus' apostles in the New Testament. While you might be most familiar with the variant spelling, Nathaniel, Nathanael is the more traditional form of this name. If your faith is a central part of your life, naming baby Nathanael could be a lovely way to involve them in your spiritual journey. Nathanael also offers plenty of appeal to non-religious families as an old-school alternative to the trendy Nathan and Nate.
