What is the meaning of the name Ezel ?

The baby name Ezel is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Turkish: [eˈzel] (eh-ZEL); English approximation: /ˈɛzəl/ (EH-zəl).

Ezel is Turkish in Origin.

From Turkish, Ezel derives from Arabic azal (أزل), the idea of the eternal past or “beginningless eternity.” As a given name it is used in Turkey and parts of the wider Turkic/Kurdish world, usually masculine but effectively unisex. In Ottoman literature and Sufi thought, ezel contrasts with ebed (“everlasting”), anchoring the name in devotional language. Popularity spiked in Turkey after the 2009 TV drama Ezel.

Variants and cognates include Azal (Arabic) and transliterations Azaal/Azzal; compound Turkish forms like Ezelhan also occur. Ezeli is an adjectival derivative rather than a given name, and Ezo appears as a nickname. A separate Semitic homonym surfaces in the Hebrew Bible (Even ha‑Ezel, “stone of departure”), a place-name rather than the source of this usage. Note for diaspora families: in Dutch and Afrikaans, ezel means “donkey” (also behind English easel), an unrelated word but worth awareness.
