      The name Mehitabel is rooted in Hebrew, deriving from the Biblical context where it conveys the meaning God is my good fortune. The name combines elements from the Hebrew words mehit, signifying to be wealthy or fortunate, and el, which refers to God. As such, Mehitabel encapsulates a sentiment of divine blessing and prosperity, making it a symbol of favor and abundance in the context of faith.

      Historically, Mehitabel is mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the books that recount genealogies and narratives associated with ancient Israel. This gives the name a rich biblical heritage, closely aligning it with themes of divine providence.
