History & Origin
Asriel comes from Hebrew Asri'el, 'God is my help' (a biblical figure, a grandson of Manasseh), closely linked to Azriel, 'God is my help/strength' (routes layered, which we note; also the imposing Lord Asriel of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials). A devout, lyrical name; the -iel ending personalizes it (said 'AHS-ree-el'; nickname Azri).
It registers thinly in records. Rare, God-is-my-help at the root, and devout.
