The Meaning of My Name.

My first name is Joel.

According to Wikipedia, Joel is a male given name derived from יוֹאֵל Standard Hebrew, Yoʾel, meaning “Yahu is god“, “YHWH is God“, or the modern translation “Yahweh is God”. Joel as a given name appears in the Hebrew Bible.

Significantly, I love this name because God has proved beyond reasonable doubt that He is indeed Yahweh.
