History & Origin

Amiel comes from Hebrew Ammiel, ammi, 'my people', plus el, 'God' — 'God of my people' or 'my people belong to God'. A biblical name (a spy in Numbers; an ancestor of Bathsheba), it surfaces now for its soft sound and devotional -el ending.

In the U.S. it appears in Jewish and devout families. Rare, God-and-people at the root, and gently modern.

Did you know? Amiel ends in the Hebrew -el, 'God', like Daniel ('God is my judge') and Samuel — and was the name of an ancestor of Bathsheba, King David's queen.
