[Facts] Othniel
I would like to know the meaning of the name "Othniel". The name appears in the Old Testament as the nephew of Caleb. I would like to know if you know the meaning and perhaps other derivatives or versions of the name. Thank you.

Strong's Concordance and Easton's Bible Dictionary both agree it means "lion of God", though Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary says it means "hour of God".
