There are precedent for sons having the same name as the fathers
for generations, when you look at rulers (maybe priests too? and
Yisro had been a priest). Think of Paraoh and Avimelech, It's at
least possible that father and son were both named Reuel if that was some kind
of title.<br><br>Friend of God? Shepherd of God? Either one would be appropriate for a priest, although I'm not sure where the vav comes in.<br><br>- Ilana<br></div>
