Ami-El is Hebrew in Origin.
Ami-El is a Hebrew theophoric given name formed from am/ami (people, my kinsman) and El (God), yielding readings such as people of God, God is my kinsman, or God of my people. The hyphen underscores the divine element El, a modern stylistic choice that keeps the ancient structure visible.
In the Hebrew Bible, the name appears as Amiel or Ammiel, borne by several minor figures: a scout from the tribe of Dan (Numbers 13:12), Machir son of Ammiel of Lo-debar (2 Samuel 9:4), and, in 1 Chronicles, Bathsheba as daughter of Ammiel. Common variants include Amiel (no hyphen), Ammiel (double m), Ami'el (apostrophe), Ami El (spaced), and the Romance-accented Amíel; feminine modern forms like Amielle or Amiela also occur. Traditionally masculine in Hebrew sources, Ami-El today can read as unisex in modern Israeli and diaspora Jewish usage.
