History & Origin

Jaiel is a modern coinage built in a Hebrew pattern. Its ending, -el, is the Hebrew word for God, and it closes a long line of biblical names: Gabriel ('God is my strength'), Daniel ('God is my judge'), Ariel ('lion of God'). The opening of Jaiel has no traced source, so the honest description is a modern name in a Hebrew shape rather than a Hebrew name proper (said 'jy-EL').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, modern, and biblical in flavour.

Did you know? The -el that closes Jaiel is the Hebrew word for God - the same element that ends Gabriel, Ariel, Daniel and Michael.
