History & Origin

Adiel joins Hebrew adi, 'ornament; jewel,' to El, a name of God: 'ornament of God.' It is borne by men in the Books of Chronicles and is still used mainly for boys. As a girl's name it is rare and modern, and we note that lean honestly (said 'ah-dee-EL').

For girls it appears only rarely in the U.S., against heavier use for boys. Rare, biblical, and unisex-leaning boy.
