From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Nathanael
     given or gift of God, one of our Lord's disciples, "of Cana in
     Galilee" (John 21:2). He was "an Israelite indeed, in whom was
     no guile" (1:47, 48). His name occurs only in the Gospel of
     John, who in his list of the disciples never mentions
     Bartholomew, with whom he has consequently been identified. He


     was one of those to whom the Lord showed himself alive after his
     resurrection, at the Sea of Tiberias.
