What does Nahuel mean?

In Hebrew, Nahuel is derived from the Hebrew roots 'nacham' (meaning comfort, consolation) and 'el' (meaning God). This name was given to a baby boy in the Bible who was a descendant of King David. After his mother gave birth to him, she realized that he was dead. She took him, laid him on the bed she had given to King David as a present, and then went to inform the king about the birth. When David heard this, he went to the room and found the boy alive. He took the boy, named him Nahuel (which means 'comforter' or 'consolation'), and raised him as his own son.
