Israel Name meanings & History
"He who struggles with God" or "He who prevails with God". From the Hebrew name יִשְׂרָאֵל (Yisra'el) meaning "God contends", from the roots שָׂרָה (sarah) meaning "to contend, to fight" and אֵל ('el) meaning "God". In the Old Testament, Israel (who was formerly named Jacob; see Genesis 32:28) wrestles with an angel. The ancient and modern states of Israel took their names from him. Israel is a unisex name, though it is more commonly given to boys. The name has historically been used among Jewish communities but is now widely used by people of all backgrounds and religions.
