RE: [Leica] Emanuel Paltiel

["Tim Atherton" <tim@KairosPhoto.com>]

the best theological dictionaries don't seem to be online (and all mine are
in the basement!), so we'll have to do with the Catholic Encyclopaedia...
:-)

Here's somewhere to start

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05404a.htm

You probably need to go back to the Hebrew:

Immanuw'el {im-maw-noo-ale'}
with a pronominal suffix inserted; TWOT - 1640d;
    n pr m

 AV - Immanuel + 0410 2; 2

 Immanuel = "God with us" or "with us is God"
 1) symbolic and prophetic name of the Messiah, the Christ, prophesying
    that He would be born of a virgin and would be 'God with us'



 Paltiy'el {pal-tee-ale'}
 from the same as 6404 and 410; n pr m

 AV - Paltiel 1, Phaltiel 1; 2

 Paltiel or Phaltiel = "God delivers"
 1) son of Azzan and prince of the tribe of Issachar appointed as one
    of the 12 to apportion the land of Canaan
 2) son of Laish of Gallim to whom Saul gave Michal in marriage after
    his mad jealousy had driven David forth as an outlaw

Now we've deconstructed your name emanuel, anyone else....
