Hi Rabbi, I know Yoel was a prophet, but what does his name actually mean in Hebrew?
AskTheRabbi.org answered:
The name Yoel means God Prevails.
This name is also an acronym for "Hashem is God".
The first two letters are from "The" four-letter Name of Hashem - yud, heh and vav heh, while the last two letters are a Name of God denoting "strength".
