History and Origin
Nathaniel (alternate spelling: Nathanael) is a male name and surname. It comes from the Hebrew name נְתַנְאֵל/Netan'el meaning "Given of God" (from the Hebrew words nathan "Gave" + el "of God"). Nathaniel is commonly shortened to Nat, Nate, Natte, Natty, Nati, Natan, or Nathan.
English form of a New Testament name, which is derived from the Greek form of a Hebrew name meaning ‘God has given’ (cf. Nathan, which is sometimes taken as a short form of this name). It was borne by one of the less prominent of Christ's apostles (John 1: 45; 21: 2), who in fact is probably identical with Bartholomew. The spelling used in the Authorized Version of the New Testament is Nathanael, but this has never been common as a given name in the English-speaking world. The biblical form of the Old Testament name is Nethaneel; it was the name of the prince of the tribe of Issachar at the time of the Exodus (Numbers 1: 8). The name is little used in other European languages.
Cognate: Italian: Natanaele.
