Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Mehetabel in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name without a direct Greek counterpart. Usage: The name Mehetabel means "God makes happy" or "God benefits." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a person whose life is marked by the goodness and favor of God.
