Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

מְחוּיָאֵל proper name, masculine great-grandson of Cain Genesis 4:18a = מְחִיָּיאֵ֯ל Genesis 4:18b (J; A ᵐ5^L in both Μαιηλ, E Μαουιηλ; compare further Lag^{Or. ii, 35 BN 96} (Μαιουιαηλ) Bu^Urgesch.125). — (etymology dubious; Thes^{Add. 97 perhaps} smitten of El √ מחה; Bu^{Urgesch. 128} Kerber^{Eigennam, d. AT. 91} מְחַיִּיאֵל, or מַחְיִיאֵל El maketh alive; DHM^MV:10 thinks of proper name, of divinity יאל, — compare Phoenician proper name יאלפעל, and CIS^{i. 132,4}; especially p. 163b, = god יאל giveth life (against this Gray^{Prop. N. 164})).

מַחֲוִים see below II. חוה. I. מָחוֺל see חול.
