Son of God
A rare biblical-style name likely derived from the Hebrew elements 'ben', meaning son, and 'el', referring to God. While not appearing as a primary character in the Bible, it follows the construction of traditional Hebrew theophoric names. It is most commonly found within Amish and Mennonite communities in the United States.
