Our first names are important for us to identify ourselves and for others to recognize us easily. What is the history of your first name by the way？Parents normally combined or mixed some letters their names so they can form names for their children. Other names are from the idol like a well-known actor or actress, athlethes, beauty queens and even places.
My name PHEGIEL was taken from the book of Numbers in the Bible. Phegiel was one of the leaders in Israel specifically in the tribe of Aser. Most bible versions or translations used the name PAGIEL like the NIV or New International Version but there is one version wherein the name written is PHEGIEL and it is the Douay Rheims Bible Version.
When my grandmother gave me this named Phegiel, she also gave biblical meaning to this name. The letter P stands for Praise, H for Him （referring to our God）, E for evermore, G for God, I for is, E for Everlasting and Life for letter L. Again, Phegiel means Praise Him Evermore God Is Everlasting Life. Indeed it is true that God offers everlasting life if we received His Son Jesus Christ to be our Personal Lord and Savior. We must praise Him always for He is good and His love endures forever.
