This is someone whose name starts with "Dal" and ends with "Alef". 🙂
It is commonly believed that this is one of the names of God. There are places where one gets the impression that it is some kind of angel.

(I have a special interest in this name because when I was a child I was asked to explain how Dikarnusa comes from the verse and I have poured out a blessing on you until there is no more and from the verse, "Let the light of your face shine upon you, O Lord," as it is written in the siddurs (at least the Sephardim). And if it is not said that the Kabbalists collected letters for themselves until there is no more "di" (di) + and I have poured out (ker) + and I have poured out (nasa) = Dikarnusa, it is not clear how the verse comes from the name. And I found that the full verse of and I have poured out to you, etc. has 29 letters and the initials in the gematria are 398, a total of 427, and together with the entire verse, 428, and this is in the gematria of Hatach, and Hatach with three letters, 431, which is in the gematria of Dikarnusa. And I don't think I've ever seen anyone interpret it this way. And the second verse, "Let the light of our face shine upon us," etc. I haven't been able to explain it this way. And for many years since then I've wondered what the Kabbalists found in this name and I set my heart on it, and one day I saw A solution, and it seems to me that it was with someone who came to mock the Kabbalah, and I will present it)

In the Gemara Pesachim 11b it is written, "Isra Damzuni - Nakid Shemiya. Isra Deaniota - Nabal Shemiya." And Rashi interpreted Isra Damzuni - the angel in charge of livelihood. And from now on, it is easy for a wise person to know that Dikarnusa is an anagram of "Asor Nakid" and from there the Kabbalists invented it.

And so it is that one who sees the virtue of the Rash of Ostropoli, which is read (at least by the Sephardim) on the eve of Passover, will see how he goes there and invents names of angels and makes riddles out of them, and then solves them, wonder and wonder, and who would believe him that he did not invent them for the purpose of the solution (it is highly recommended to read this fraudulent "virtue." I was a child and I was very amazed by this virtue, wonders of wonders. Until I grew up and the token fell, etc., and it was not pleasant. And see also in Abarbanel Daniel, Chapter 11 and 13)

Now, something has come to my mind through the hypothesis of Balama. The above-mentioned Gemara says Isra Damzuni, and Rashi interprets it as an angel in charge of the provisions. Since when is Isra a term of authority? Perhaps a man in charge is a tool in the hand of the Blessed One (as when Joseph was restrained from his chariot). But it is also possible otherwise:
In the Bible, there are Assyrian kings Shalmaneser and Tiglath-Pileser (who conquered Israel and part of Judah). And in the names of kings, it is very common to include the name of God in the same place. Like the kings of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar begins with the name of God 'Nebo', and Belshazzar begins with the name of God 'Bel' (as it is written, Bel bows down, Nebo bows down. And Nebuchadnezzar called Daniel 'Belshazzar' "like my god"). Baal was the king of Sidon and 'Baal' was their god. So were most of the kings of Judah. It seems that "Asser" was in Assyria a nickname for a king or a god. Like 'God' among some peoples.

Sorry for the intrusion, but something that had been in the back of my mind for years suddenly came to my mind.

I wrote above that I did not understand what is written in the siddurs that the name "Dikarnosa" comes from the verse "And I poured out a blessing on you until you are insatiable" and the verse "Let the light of your face shine upon us, the Lord." And I proposed a gematria upon a gematria on how Dikarnosa comes from the verse "And I poured out a blessing on you until you are insatiable." And the second verse "Let the light of your face shine upon us, the Lord" was not interpreted that way.

And now I see that if we take the letters Nesa Aleinu Or Pneich, the initials Naaf, and the final letters Horek, with a total of 432 Gematria, and Dikarnusa with a Gematria of 431 and with a total of 432. It seems to me that the truth proves itself, that this is the intention of the Kabbalists, that this name emerges from these verses in these Gematria, which are like a compass in the hand of the drafter. And they chose these verses because in them Dikarnusa is responsible for sustenance, like the name Hatach (which is also in the same Gematria, as written in the Siddurs), and these verses deal with sustenance and special illumination of the face, and also that it is possible to glean from them the letters Dikarnusa, as I wrote above.
