What is the meaning of the name Channiel ?

The baby name Channiel is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced CHAN-ee-el (IPA: /ˈtʃæn.i.əl/).

Channiel is Hebrew in Origin.

Channiel is a rare Hebrew theophoric given name formed from Ḥannī’el (חַנִּיאֵל), built on ḥen “grace, favor” or the verb ḥanan “to show favor,” plus ’El “God,” yielding the sense “grace of God” or “God has shown favor.” In Latin‑script transliteration the initial guttural ḥet may appear as H or Ch, so Haniel, Hanniel, and Chaniel circulate alongside Channiel.

The name appears in the Hebrew Bible borne by a leader from the tribe of Manasseh involved in the Canaan land allotment (Numbers 34:23), and Haniel later figures in Jewish and Christian angelology as an archangel associated with grace and Venus. Contemporary use is very uncommon in English‑speaking countries and in Israel, but it appeals to parents seeking a distinctive, devout ‑el name. Variants and spellings include Haniel, Hanniel, Chaniel; related feminine forms link to Hannah and Chanah. Not to be confused with the French surname Chanel.
