in fact Joseph Goebbels allegedly destroyed a copy of a Superman comic during a meeting of Nazi hierarchy, decrying Superman as a Jew—an interesting thought given the many Mosaic parallels and use of the suffix El, meaning God in Hebrew, in Superman’s given name, Kal-El).
'The Great God". In Sanskrit Maha means great and El stands for God (as it does in Ancient Egyptian and Hebrew). Appropriately we find the suffix El in all the Archangelic names. Michael's light is red, in all its shades, and he is the Archangel of light and fire. Michael gives us the bodily warmth, and the warm red blood.

El (pronounced, ale) is the ancienct Canaanite high G-d and was worshipped in syro-palestine at the end of the bronze age. This divinity was originally part of a greater panteon of g-ds and was adopted by the 'apiru, who are believed to be the bandit semi-nomadic groups which would eventually be regarded as Hebrew. As monotheism came to the fore in Israelite history the southern moutain G-d of the Shona people (sons of the south or benjamini), YHVH, became the normative name of Israel's G-d. Yet by this time the previous divinity had His name on the nation, Isra(El).
We see that the earliest Hebrew names have the suffix ...el while in later time we see the the YHVH suffix of ...iah.

Elo is the word or name for God in the Hebrew. Because God is one God and is referred to in the plural, the word you'll most often come across is 'elohim.' (The Hebrews made plurals by adding -m or -im, not by adding -s as we do.) From that we get El. This is often seen in many of the names for God and many names for other people and places in the Bible, mainly in the Old Testament. Even the name Israel has God in it. Anytime you see the 'el,' that's God. El Shaddai is common, that's God Almighty. There are many others.
If you go Google for 'Bible names of God,' I'll bet you find a whole list.

I think that by adding the " el " to an existing name is making it more affectionate. personal or a younger version of the name for example in English we have Tim - Timmy Jack - Jacky Bob - Bobby so the letter " Y" has a similar function. The names of the characters in your story sound " Yiddish " and this has connections to German and in some German dialects the diminuative form is made by adding an " el " eg. Mad - Madel maiden, little maiden.

EL
Strength, one of the names of God, especially in poetry,
Ge 33:18-20. It is very often found in proper names, as Bethel, Daniel, Elijah, etc. Eloi, like Eli, means, My God.

of God from Hebrew
Like Beth-el = House of God
Bob, no Israel means "struggles with God."
Genesis 32:28 Then the man said, “Your name will not be Jacob anymore. Instead, it will be Israel. You have struggled with God and with men. And you have won.” Sarah in this context means "to struggle, contend."
Don't tell me sarah means "princess or woman of nobility," there are 2 Hebrew words with the same spelling.

el has to do with God. For example, Emmanuel means God with us.
