Meaning and etymology of the Hebrew name Hazelelponi

Hazelelponi 
The delightful name Hazelelponi occurs just once in the Bible. She's mentioned as the sister of Jezreel, Ishma and Idbash, the sons of Etam. This Etam is a bit mysterious because there doesn't seem to be a person named Etam. There are only cities of that name, and it's possible that the three mentioned men are chiefs of some sort, but it seems a bit strange to mention that they have a sister.
The name Hazalelponi starts with the letter he, and that seems to indicate the grammatical form which indicates an active causative form of what follows. And what follows is comprised is comprised of two elements:
Names that also come from this root are Bezalel, Zillah and Zillethai.
The second part of the name comes from the verb  (pana), meaning to turn. The derivative  (panim), literally "turnings" is the common word for face.
For a meaning of this beautiful name, BDB Theological Dictionary reads Give Shade, Thou That Turnest To Me! NOBS Study Bible Name List reads a similar Give Shade, Thou Who Turnest Toward Me. Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names disregards the grammar of the primary he, goes with the derivative of the verb pana that means face, and reads The Shadow Looking At Me.
