What does "Israel" mean?

In Israel, the Hebrew word "Sabra" means "a native of Israel", which means not only men but also women. Professor Ido Oren of the University of Minnesota believes that this is also a metaphor for Israeli character. "Sabra is a kind of fruit that grows on cactus," he explained. This special fruit has a hard skin but a sweet flesh. Because of this, many people think that it represents the character of Israelis. "
