What Is Caleb In Bible?

(In Hebrew the Name means to follow God with all your heart. The root meaning of cal (first part of caleb) means all of. The 2nd part of the name means a dog. It was the name Adam gave to the dog. The dog is the animal that loves his master faithfully. A dog always wants his master and follows after him, therefore Caleb has the connotation of loving God with all he has to give.

Caleb was a young man with Joshua (the end of the story of Moses) who was full of faith and the two of them became the ones to lead the younger generation of Israelites into the Promised Land and they were successful in conquering and overcoming all of the giants and strongholds that the older generation initially saw. 

The name Caleb also means "conquerer, and full of faith."  I named my son Caleb for this reason!
