Grace of Baal or grace of the Lord
Anival is a rare variant of the name Annibal or Hannibal. It is derived from the Phoenician name Chanba'al, which combines the elements 'han' (grace) and 'Ba'al' (lord or god). While historically significant through its Carthaginian roots, this specific spelling is most frequently found in Spanish-speaking communities.
