Mahalalel Mahalalel

Mahalalel is the son of Kenan, the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve.

The name Mahalalel is a compilation of two elements. The first part of the name comes from the verb halal (halal 499, 501) meaning shine (499), praise, boast (hence: hallelujah)(500), and, perhaps due to screaming and carrying on(?) to be insane (501); derivative holela (holela 501a) means maddness.
Derivative mahalal (mahalal 500b) means praise.
The second part of the name is el, the common abbreviation of Elohim, the genus God.

The name Mahalalel means Praise Of God.
