History & Origin
Azriel comes from Hebrew Azri'el, 'God is my help' (from ezer, 'help', plus el, 'God') — also borne by an angel (Azrael, associated with death in some traditions, which we note). A devout, lyrical name; predominantly a boys' name, here covered for girls honestly (slug distinguished); the -iel ending lends it grace.
It registers thinly for girls. Rare for girls, God-is-my-help at the root, and lyrical.
