Putiel
Putiel
A personal name, used only in Exodus 6:25, identifying an ancestor of Phinehas. The name is a theophoric compound, with the second element being 'El' (referring to a deity, commonly the God of Israelite tradition). The meaning of the first element is uncertain due to lack of attested root outside the name. Lexical meaning is therefore: 'Putiel,' a personal name of unclear original meaning, containing the divine element '-el.'

Putiel
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular personal name; theophoric compound ending in -el. |
| Rendering Rationale | This is a masculine singular proper name formed as a theophoric compound with the divine element "El." Because the first element’s root is unattested and uncertain, the most faithful root-aware rendering is to preserve the personal name itself. |
