"שמואל" meaning in Hebrew

See שמואל in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ˈʃmu.el/ [Modern-Israeli-Hebrew], /ʃmu.ejl/ [Ashkenazi-Hebrew], /ʃemuˈel/ (note: Sephardi Hebrew), /ʃæ̆muˈʔel/ [Yemenite-Hebrew], /ʃămuˈʔel/ [Tiberian-Hebrew], /ʃəmuːˈʔeːl/ [Biblical-Hebrew] Audio: LL-Q9288 (heb)-YaronSh-שמואל.wav Forms: שְׁמוּאֵל [canonical], šəmūʾḗl [romanization]
Etymology: Compound of שֵׁם (šēm, “name”) and אֵל (ʾēl, “god”). The first part is often said to be שָׁמַע (šāmáʿ, “to hear, to listen”) since elistic names tend to derive from exhortations from verbs, however this is unlikely since the third radical ע (ʿ) of the verb is absent. Other interpretations posit derivation from roots meaning “God” as in Heaven or the upper sky (see שָׁמַיִם (šāmáyim)) and “high” (see עלי (literally “elevation”)) giving “God is high”.
