Name of God’s Son

ΕΙΣΜΑΗΛʼ, εισμαηλʼ

EISMAĒLʼ, eismaēlʼ

Sounds Like: is-mah-EL

Translations: Ishmael

From the root: ΕΙΣΜΑΗΛ

Part of Speech: Proper Noun

Explanation: This is a proper noun, referring to Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar. The apostrophe-like character at the end (keraia) indicates that this is a numeral, specifically the number 15, but in this context, it is much more likely to be a proper noun, as numbers are typically represented by letters with a keraia, not full words. Therefore, it is most likely a proper noun, Ishmael. It is used to refer to the biblical figure.

Inflection: Singular, Masculine, Nominative
