Personal name meaning 'Baal has shown favor' or 'lord of favor,' most likely referring to the divinity Baal as the agent of grace or favor.

Baal has shown favor
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name; compound theophoric name consisting of בַּעַל + חָנָן (Qal perfect 3ms). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name is a compound of בַּעַל (Baal, lord) and חָנָן (Qal perfect 3ms, 'has shown favor'). Rendering it as 'Baal has shown favor' preserves both the theophoric element and the verbal force of the perfect form. |
