Nathanil Origin and Meaning

The name Nathanil is a boy's name.

Nathanil appears to be a variant spelling of Nathaniel, a masculine name of Hebrew origin meaning 'gift of God.' The traditional Nathaniel derives from the Hebrew name Netanel, composed of 'natan' (to give) and 'el' (God). This less common spelling streamlines the name by removing the 'ie' or 'iel' ending, resulting in a more concise form. While not widely used, Nathanil maintains the dignified, biblical character of the original while offering a slightly different visual presentation. The name carries the same positive associations of divine blessing and providence as Nathaniel. Parents might choose this variant to honor a family tradition of using Nathaniel while giving their son a more distinctive spelling.
