"I" stance for Ellah or Illah the Arabic word for Allah (GOD) "sh" it means hear. I am not a linguist but I have studied Arabic, Persian and English. The meaning of the name Ishmael means God hear. Apparently this was for the crying of Ibrahim asking God to give him a son. This name was chosen by God.
An early Jewish view of the supposed descendants of Ishmael is shown in Midrash Esther Rabbah: "Of ten portions of stupidity in the world, nine were given to the Ishmaelites and one to the rest of the world. In the same manner, nine portions of robustness were allocated to the Ishmaelites and one to the rest of the world."
Ishmael was dismissed from Abraham's household for taunting Isaac. Along with his mother, Ishmael lived in the wilderness of Paran.
Ishmael was the son of Abraham and his concubine, Haggar. Ishmael led his people, the Ishmaelites to Cannan.
Abraham was exceedingly happy when Ishmael was born and wished that Ishmael would be the child of promise, showing little faith in God's abilities. But God corrected Abraham and told him that his son Isaac will fill that role. He had other plans for Ishmael:
nothing
Elijah
Ishmael was Abraham's first son by his mother Hagar .
Hagar
I think you're really asking "what does the name Ishmael mean in English" In English, it means "God will hear"
"Call me Ishmael" is the opening line of the novel "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville. It introduces the narrator, Ishmael, and sets the tone for a story about obsession, revenge, and the power of nature. The phrase invites readers to join Ishmael on his journey and witness the events that unfold.
It depends on the context. If you mean "Call me, Ishmael" as in that you wish for an Ishmael to call you (usually by phone), the translation would be: Attasel bi, Esma3il (أتصل بي إسماعيل) If you are referring to the first line of Moby Dick, where the verb "to call" is used to to mean "to be named". Most Arab translations of Moby Dick translate the line as My name is Ishmael: Esmi Esma3il (إسمي إسماعيل)
