What is the meaning of the name Aniel ?

The baby name Aniel is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ah-NEE-el (IPA: /ɑːˈniː.ɛl/).

Aniel is Hebrew, Polish, Sanskrit, Slavic in Origin.

Aniel is commonly read as a reduced form of the Hebrew Haniel/Anael (Ḥanniel), built from ḥen “grace, favor” + ʼEl “God,” hence “grace of God” or “God is gracious.” The name appears in Jewish and Christian angel-lists as an angelic name (often Haniel or Anael), and from the early modern period onward it has been adopted as a human given name in various languages.

In Slavic usage, especially Polish, Aniel occurs as a rare masculine counterpart to Aniela (Angela), influenced by anioł “angel.” In Francophone settings you may see Anaël; Spanish and Portuguese often prefer Anael; and in the Indian Ocean and South Asian diaspora Aniel can function as a spelling of Sanskrit Anil “wind, air.” Variants and related forms include Haniel, Anael/Anaël, Hanniel, Anil; feminine equivalents Aniela, Angela, Anaëlle; short forms Ani and Niel.
