"Shaddai" is one of the names of G-d. It's a Hebrew word which means "The Almighty", "The Omnipotent". The letters are shin, dalet e iud.

God Almighty
It is Hebrew for sure.
El = God
Shaddai = One of the names of God.
Together they usualy mean God Almighty.
The phrase appears in the old testament in many places.

God Almighty
Two different names for God which together produce this expression.El appears first in Genesis chapter 1 verse 9. The name Shadai first appears in Genesis.ch.17 verse 1. This combination of the names is used extensively in the Jewish High Holiday prayers when repenting and asking for forgiveness.The context explains why.

The Lord our God
If this is indeed a Hebrew phrase then it is a combination of words addressing the Almighty. It couldn also mean The Lord of Hosts.

God Almighty
FWIW, it is not 'Lord' (which is Adonay) nor is it 'of Hosts' (which is Tzeva'ot).

Mr Charass (who is not a native speaker, asserts that it stands for \'Shmor delatot Israel\'. In the first place, it\'s a nice, well-known story but has no basis in fact. In the second place, acc. to the story it\'s \'Shomer d\'latot Israel\', \'Guardian of the doors of Israel\'.

El Shaddai
Why not look at what Rashi has to say. He mentions that "El" is of course God. However the problem is with "Shaddai". Rashi takes "Sha" to mean "that" and "Dai" to mean enough or abundant. Therefore you put them together and get: God that is great or abundant, or God almighty.

God will guard the houses of Israel
El Sha-Da-I means God will guard the houses of Israel
It seams to me that my colleagues forgot what is the inscription on the Mezuzah, Sha-Da-I which means Shmor Delatot Israel, Guard the Gates of Israel. It is a prayer that God (El) shall guard and prevent the evil passing through the gates/doors of Israel or more generally the Jewish homes. It makes reference to the marking of the Jewish home during the tenth plagues that Moses brought onto Egypt, the death of the first-born male, so that the angel of death will pass-over (Pesach) the houses of Jews.
