Azra’eil is Semitic in Origin.
Azra'eil is a modern stylization of the Semitic name borne by the Angel of Death, known in Arabic as 'Azrā'īl (عزرائيل) and in Jewish and Christian lore as Azrael/Azriel. From Hebrew roots azar/ezra (“to help”) + el (“God”), it means “Help of God,” “God has helped,” or “God is my help.” Through Syriac and Arabic transmission, the form with a glottal stop spread regionally; the -ae- spelling reflects English and Latinized renderings.
As a personal name, it appears rarely: Azriel is attested in medieval Hebrew records and used in modern Israel; Azrail occurs in Turkish and Persian contexts, often as an epithet rather than a given name; English use of Azrael/Azra'eil is largely literary or gothic. Variants include Azrael, Azriel, Azra’il, Azraeel, Izra’il, and feminine Azriela/Azriella.
