"I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth." –Job 19:25
Wendy and I spent a lot of time planning out the materials and names of God we would use, and we tried to make a connection between the name and medium whenever we could. When we arrived at Redeemer, we decided to look it up for a more definitive meaning.
Here's the search result from Google:
Oh—a redeemer is a person who redeems. Now it's very clear.
Further searching and more diving into scripture helped us arrive at this concept: a redeemer is a person who frees someone else, either from debt, obligation or slavery. What better way to illustrate this concept than with broken chains?
