History & Origin

Yadriel is a modern Latino coinage blending Yadiel — Hebrew elements 'God knows' — with the -riel finish of Gabriel (construction informal, which we note). Cemetery Boys gave it literary history.

It registers thinly in records. Rare, God-knows in echo, and trailblazing.

Did you know? Aiden Thomas's 'Cemetery Boys' made Yadriel a landmark — the first trans male protagonist by a trans author to top the NYT YA list.
