Baal Forename Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Bay'-al, Bel or Belus, denoting Lord. A divinity among several ancient nations, as the Canaanites, Phoenicians, Sidonians, Carthaginians, Babylonians, Chaldeans, and Assyrians. The term Baal, which is itself an appellative, served at first to denote the true God, among those who adhered to the true religion. But when various nations degenerated into idolatry, they retained this name with some epithet annexed to it, as Baal-Berith, Baal-Gad, Baal-Moloch, Baal-Peor, &c. It occurs frequently in Scripture.

The Proper Names of The Bible (1855) by John Farrar

Meaning: (the), the lord (as master, owner).
