A Little Assistance Please

Hello! I need some help choosing a name for a D+D character, and was hoping you all might like to assist me. The character in question began life as an iedolon (a representation of a god that is granted sentience and some godly powers.) but after being imprisoned and used as a giant magical battery for the last several centuries, most of his powers are gone. He is so weak in fact that when Tier Blue-Eye and the rest of her party find and free him, he reverts to an ordinary human form and has to be cared for by Tier and the others.
Here is a list of names I've found so far that interest me the most:

ALLON/ELON
Means "oak" in Hebrew.
ELISHA
From the Hebrew name Elisha, a contracted form of Elishu'a meaning "my God is salvation".
ENOS
Means "human being" in Hebrew.
ITHIEL
Means "God is with me" in Hebrew.
LAEL
Means "of God" in Hebrew.
RAM
Means "exalted" in Hebrew.
REMIEL
Means "mercy of God" in Hebrew.

I think my favorites right now are Elisha and Remiel, but I'd be happy to hear any ideas you might have. I'm particulary looking for names meaning "god" or "god like", and ones that while somewhat unusual, are not overly flamboyant. (I'm also trying to avoid too many names ending with "or" or "el", like Denethor or Azariel, since these types of names seem to be a dime a dozen in fantasy nowadays.) Thank you in advance for the help!

Sure thing, sounds like fun :D I personally like Enos but I don't know why XD. Um I thought about the battery and how the name might be related to power or source, so I looked that up and I came up with Cyrus (which could be something like "lord" or "sun") and then two names derived from George (earth) which are Seoirse and Siorus. I just like the way they sounded XD.

Then for like "godlike" there is Caelestis which means heavenly or "of the sky" or Celestin which is basically what it sounds like. Or if you don't mind the flamboyancy: Cleisthenes meaning "glory" or "strength" Then there's Devyn, for divine.

Well they were all pretty flamboyant, oh well XD.

Rick: And what is that?
Evelyn: I... am a librarian.

:iconethurian-chronicles:
Deus means 'God' in Latin. Elkana means 'God has made' in Hebrew. The latter is true for the character, having gotten his powers from a God.

Thank you for the ideas.^^
