In a discussion of the origins of names, my brother pointed out that the suffix -el, as found at the end of some Hebrew names, means “God.” For example, the name Raphael means “God has healed.” Just for fun we made a list of all the other -el names we could think of. Not having a copy of a Hebrew-English dictionary handy, we had to speculate as to some of the names’ meanings.
| Disembow-el | to remove the entrails of God | |
| Falaf-el | deep-fried Garbanzo dumplings, usually served in a pita with hummus, by a priest (you have to hold out your tongue first) | |
| Caram-el | God’s chewy center, sometimes filled with nuts | |
| Becham-el | Jesus Chris, you scorched the milk! | |
| Cholester-el | God told you to stick with the loaves and fishes. | |
| Sequ-el | The Second Coming of God |
