      Origin

      Hebrew, Biblical Roots

      Meaning

      God is My Good Fortune

      Variations

      Mehitabelle, Mehetabel, Mehitable
      The name Mehitabel is rooted in Hebrew, deriving from the Biblical context where it conveys the meaning God is my good fortune. The name combines elements from the Hebrew words mehit, signifying to be wealthy or fortunate, and el, which refers to God. As such, Mehitabel encapsulates a sentiment of divine blessing and prosperity, making it a symbol of favor and abundance in the context of faith.

      Historically, Mehitabel is mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the books that recount genealogies and narratives associated with ancient Israel. This gives the name a rich biblical heritage, closely aligning it with themes of divine providence. Over the centuries, the usage of Mehitabel has waxed and waned, appearing in various forms across different cultures but maintaining its core meaning related to benevolence and good fortune attributed to the divine.

      In contemporary society, the name Mehitabel is relatively uncommon but has seen a resurgence in certain circles that appreciate vintage and unique names. While it may not be as widely used as some other biblical names, it attracts attention for its distinctive heritage and beautiful meaning. Creative interpretations and cultural references—such as its appearance in literature and the arts—keep the name relevant, appealing to those who seek a name that embodies spiritual significance and historical depth.
