Then "Be Up" or "be elevated". (as in elevated to the high places) maybe self aggrandizement or lifting "up" others before יהוה mabey this is what it is alluding to?

A Hebrew "personal" name need not, in my opinion, be a word. I think that the name BAAL is the composition BA-AL, where BA is 'be' ('come' in the existential sense), and where AL is 'up', as in our EL and ELOHIYM.

The word BAAL is or any English word(s) that derived from the same Hebrew word that BAAL derived from, namely בעל, the original Hebrew almost always has "הבעל". This I believe is best conveyed or rendered in English as "the owner", "the husband", "the master", or "the lord".
