In the Bible, the names David, Natan (Nathan), and Anna are natural (probably unintentional) palindromes, as is the word “abba (אבי),” a Hebrew word most correctly translated as “Daddy, or "my Father” and used by children referring to their own father. It is the word Jesus used in referring to God the Father (Mark 14:36).
The longest palindromic word in the Bible is לְאִיתִיאֵל ("to Ithiel"), occurring in Proverbs 30:1. This is the only mention of the man Ithiel in the Bible. The word is repeated, probably for emphasis.
"The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal," Proverbs 30:1
