Mahalalel, a proper name meaning 'praise of God,' borne by a descendant of Seth and a man of Judah
A Hebrew proper masculine name meaning 'praise of God,' composed of the root halal ('to praise') and El ('God'). It refers primarily to the great-grandson of Seth in the antediluvian genealogy of Genesis 5:12-17, whose lifespan is recorded as 895 years. A second Mahalalel appears much later as a Judahite ancestor in Nehemiah 11:4. The name's theophoric construction places it alongside similar praise-names in the Hebrew Bible, expressing the conviction that God is worthy of acclaim.

1. Mahalalel — The proper name Mahalalel ('praise of God'), identifying two biblical figures: (a) a fifth-generation descendant of Adam through Seth, whose birth, fathering of Jared, and death are recorded in the formulaic antediluvian genealogy (Gen 5:12-17; 1 Chr 1:2); and (b) a postexilic Judahite listed among Jerusalem's resettled inhabitants (Neh 11:4). Multilingual renderings are remarkably consistent (Spanish Mahalalel, French Mahalaleel), preserving the Hebrew phonology with minimal adaptation. 7×
