Strong's Lexicon Elqanah: Elkanah Original Word: אֶלְקָנָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אֵל (El, meaning "God") and קָנָה (qanah, meaning "to acquire" or "to possess") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Elkanah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of God possessing or creating is reflected in Greek terms related to divine ownership or creation. Usage: The name Elkanah means "God has possessed" or "God has created." It is used as a proper name for several individuals in the Old Testament, most notably the father of the prophet Samuel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the child's birth. Elkanah, as a name, suggests a recognition of God's sovereignty and providence. The most prominent Elkanah in the Bible is the father of Samuel, who was a Levite from the hill country of Ephraim. He is noted for his piety and regular worship at the tabernacle in Shiloh.
