A Hebrew "personal" name need not, in my opinion, be a word. I think that the
name BAAL is the composition BA-AL, where BA is 'be' ('come' in the existential
sense), and where AL is 'up', as in our EL and ELOHIYM.

The word BAAL is or any english word(s) that derived from the same Hebrew word
that BAAL derived from, namley בעל, the original Hebrew almost always has
"הבעל". This I believe is best conveyed or rendered in Enlish as "the owner",
"the husband", "the master", or "the lord".
