Natanael

Natanael is a Hebrew name that means 'gift of God'. It is a variant of the name Nathaniel, which is derived from the Hebrew words 'natan' meaning 'gift' and 'el' meaning 'God'.

In the Bible, Natanael is mentioned in the Gospel of John as one of the disciples of Jesus. He was from Cana in Galilee and was initially skeptical about Jesus being the Messiah, but later became a devoted follower.

The name Natanael has been used across various cultures and languages, particularly in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries, where it is spelled as 'Natanael' or 'Nataniel'.

While not a very common name in modern times, Natanael is still occasionally used as a boy's name, especially in communities with strong religious or biblical connections.
