What do you make of a Hebrew name which means Gift by G-d?

Would the person be a gift from G-d to their parents or to people or what? Just curious I read into this wrong or read into it to much. I am curious your first thought when reading the meaning of that Hebrew name.

What do you make of a Hebrew name which means Gift by G-d?
There are a few names with similar meanings (some were already mentioned)


谞转谞讗诇/谞转谞讬讗诇 - Natani'el/Netan'el - "god has given (to me)"


诪转谞讗诇/诪转谞讬讛 - Matan'el/Matanya - "something/someone that is given by God".


(Yesha'aia is derived from a different stem and means something like "God's salvation")


I think people call their children with those names consider the child a gift from god to them, not to mankind or something like that.

Reply:Our son is Jonathan. We see him as a gift from G-d to us*. The meaning of the name indicates that G-d is the giver.





Also, "Nataniel/Nathaniel" is "Gift of G-d". I have a friend who overcame infertility and then overcame secondary infertility. She named her first boy "Jonathan" and the second "Nataniel."

Reply:I may be wrong, but I think the name 'Shai', pronounced 'shy' in Hebrew, means 'gift'. I assume it means that the child is a gift to the parents.





Names are important, I think; I can't see anything wrong with the name you mention. If a person dislikes their name then hey, they can always change it when they get older.
Reply:My first thought - Oooh! I could make a plane, or a cute paper crane ...





and for free, my subsequent thought - why do you hate the letter o? does it remind you of orgasms? You can type God - or god - the o can be included.
