What is the meaning of the name Azriel ?

The baby name Azriel is a Male name and is pronounced AZ-ree-el (IPA: /ˈæzriəl/).

Azriel is Hebrew in Origin.

Azriel is a Hebrew theophoric name (עזריאל, ‘Azri’el) from ‘ezer “help” + ’El “God,” meaning “God is my help” or “help of God.” It occurs in the Hebrew Bible - most notably in 1 Chronicles - borne by Israelite clan leaders, reflecting long-standing use in ancient Israel, and later rabbinic records.

The name continued in Jewish communities and medieval Iberia, exemplified by the 13th‑century Kabbalist Azriel of Gerona, and today is found in Israel and the diaspora with occasional wider adoption. Variants and transliterations include Azri’el, Asriel, and the often-conflated Azrael; the last is a related form linked to the angel of death in later Jewish and Islamic tradition rather than a strict variant. Feminine forms include Azriela/Azriella, with nicknames such as Azi, Azri, and Riel.
