What is the meaning of the name Diezel ?

The baby name Diezel is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced DEE-zəl (ˈdiːzəl),DIE-zəl (ˈdaɪzəl).

Diezel is English in Origin.

Diezel is a modern given name, a stylized spelling of Diesel. Diesel derives from the German surname, best known through inventor Rudolf Diesel. The surname probably began as a diminutive of medieval names with the element diot/theud "people," such as Dietrich (Theodoric), hence the sense "people’s ruler"; some sources also connect it to Matthias. As a first name, Diezel inherits contemporary overtones of strength, machinery, and high energy.

Used as a given name only since the late 20th century, Diezel saw modest uptake in the United States and other English-speaking countries and gained notice through celebrity use (for example, Toni Braxton’s son). Variants include Diesel (more common) and rarer Deisel; informal short forms are Dee or Zel. While chiefly masculine, occasional unisex use appears.
