Etymology & Historical Origin - Ishmael. Ishmael comes from the Hebrew name Yishma'el meaning âGod will hearâ. In the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible, Ishmael was the son of Abraham and half-brother to Isaac. His story is told in Genesis chapter 16. Abraham and his wife Sarah (Sarai) cannot conceive a child, so Sarah gives her Egyptian handmaiden, Hagar, to Abraham.
