Israel, derived from the Hebrew name Yisra'el, is an ancient and significant name that holds deep historical and biblical significance. It is believed to mean "God will prevail" or "strive with God." In the Bible, Israel is the name given by God to Jacob after he wrestles with Him, symbolizing his victory and a new beginning. As such, the name has been traditionally associated with strength, resilience, and a connection to divine power. Today, it remains a popular choice for boys, particularly among families of Jewish faith or those who appreciate its rich historical and symbolic significance.
"The name Israel experienced consistent popularity with five births recorded each year in 1983, 2006, and 2007, resulting in a total of fifteen children named Israel being born during these years."
