History & Origin

Neriel follows the ancient Hebrew pattern of theophoric names ending in -el, 'God.' Its first element is generally taken as ner, 'lamp' or 'candle' — the element behind the biblical Ner and behind Neriah — yielding the reading 'lamp of God.' Neriel itself is a modern formation rather than a scriptural name, and we note that honestly and respectfully (said 'NEH-ree-el').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, Hebrew-styled, and luminous.
