We may add that Rav Dovid of Lelov zy”a says that “vayifgah” is a lashon of ‘paygen’ (Yiddish for ‘disturbing’ or ‘pleading’.) Thus, the pasuk that says (Bereishis 28:11): “Vayifgah b’makom”, means that we must disturb Hashem and plead to Him, and not let up until He answers us. Accordingly, the name “Pagiel” also indicates that one must disturb Hashem with his prayers.
