Etymology

Confer the biblical PN lĕmūʾel, LEMUEL, Proverbs 31:1, 4, meaning, possibly, "(belonging) to God," the mū in lĕmū an "inserted additional style" (HALOT 1958 483b). Note the Edomite PN in the text “The Words of LEMUEL, King of Massa" (LID, 41-42 and ABM, 59).

Reynolds and Sjodahl (1:26) give the meaning “Godward” or “God is bright.”
