History & Origin

Zuriel comes from Hebrew and means 'my rock is God'. It appears in the Bible as the name of a Levite leader, named in Numbers 3:35 as a chief of the families of Merari. Its Hebrew form is written Tzuri'el.

The name pairs the idea of God as an unshakable rock with the '-el' ending that marks so many Hebrew names. That gives it a steady, faith-anchored sound while remaining uncommon.

Did you know? Zuriel appears in the Old Testament, which helped preserve it across centuries of Jewish and Christian naming traditions.
