El Shaddai means God Almighty in Hebrew

 You will find those two words used as a descriptive name for God in Genesis 17:1, which says, "And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the ALMIGHTY GOD; walk before me, and be thou perfect." "Almighty God" are the Hebrew words "El Shaddai."
If you have a Strong’s Concordance, the word "El" is number 410, and you can find all the verses where it is used. It is used in the sense of "might, strength, and power."
The word "Shaddai" is number 7706, and you can also look up all of the references where it is used in the Bible. It is used in the sense of "almighty."
The best way to find the exact meaning of a word in the Bible is to read the verses where it is used. In that way, you will get the sense of how God defines the word.

it's actually "el shadday" and it means "God Almighty". God revealed himself as el shadday to Abram when he told him of the everlasting covenant he would make with Abram and his descendants.

It's spelled el Shaddai - it is the Hebrew name of God meaning sufficient.
