Our son got baptised on 12-June-2004 at St.George's Forane Church, Edappally, Ernakulam, Kerala, India. He was christened
"Jose" in line with the keralite tradition of baptising a baby boy after his paternal grand father. We have kept
his name as Joel.
If you go little bit into the etymology, the name has its roots from Hebrew language. the meaning can be "God is
Willing". Those who have gone through the Old Testament might have seen a small 3 chapter book in the same name. Joel
the prohpet talks about "Old people having visions & the youth having dreams after God showering His spirit"
