Gamaliel

Gamaliel the Elder (/ɡəˈmeɪliəl, -ˈmɑ -, ˌɡæməˈli əl/;also spelled Gamliel; Hebrew: רַבַּן גַּמְלִיאֵל הַזָּקֵן Rabban Gamlīyʾēl hazZāqēn; Koinē Greek: Γαμαλιὴλ ὁ Πρεσβύτερος Gamaliēl ho Presbýteros), or Rabban Gamaliel I, was a leading authority in the Sanhedrin in the early first century AD. He was the son of Simeon ben Hillel and grandson of the great Jewish teacher Hillel the Elder. Gamaliel is thought to have died in 52 AD (AM 3813). He fathered Simeon ben Gamliel, who was named for Gamaliel's father, and a daughter, who married a priest named Simon ben Nathanael.
Gamaliel as a boy's name is of Hebrew origin, and the meaning of Gamaliel is "recompense of God". A biblical name probably brought to America by the Puritans.

Literally the best person you’ll ever meet. One of a kind. Smart, ambitious, HILARIOUS and full of energy. Gamaal knows how to get the party started and make sure everyone is having a good time. You must have a Gamaal in your life or you’re losing. His energy is contagious, his smile can light up a room and he’s the best at everything he does. He’s a charmer too so be careful.
