Meaning & History

The name is comprised of two parts. This first, אל ('el), is a shortened form of אלהים ('elohim), meaning "God". The second part, נעם (na'em), meaning "pleasant" or "delightful". Together, the name is said to mean "God is Pleasentness".

In the Bible, Elnaam is the father of Jeribai and Joshaviah, two of David's warriors. He is only mentioned once in the Bible, in 1 Chronicles 11:46.
