What does Benuel mean?

Benuel appears to be a variant of Peniel or Penuel, names of Hebrew origin referring to the place where Jacob wrestled with God in Genesis 32:30, saying, “I saw God face to face.” The Hebrew פְּנוּאֵל (Pənūʾēl) means “face of God.” Benuel could also be interpreted as a modern adaptation blending the element ben (“son”) with El (“God”), loosely interpreted as “son of God.” Though rare, it carries strong biblical connotations and a spiritual tone.
