Nathaniel is the English spelling of Nathanael.
The man in John is Nathanael of Cana in Galilee.
Nathaniel and Nathanael are the same name. John writes Nathanael. Philip finds him and says they have found Him of whom Moses and the Prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth. Nathanael asks if anything good can come from Nazareth, then confesses, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are the King of Israel. He is of Cana in Galilee, and he is with the sons of Zebedee after the resurrection. This page is the spelling. The person is on the Nathanael page.
