Iriol is in Origin.

Iriol is a modern, very rare given name of uncertain origin, most visible in English-speaking contexts. It likely arose as a creative coinage that echoes Irish Irial (Írial), the -iel angelic set (Ariel, Uriel) despite the altered ending, and Catalan Oriol.

Its meaning depends on the reading: tied to Irial and the legendary Írial Fáid (“the seer”), it carries overtones of insight; aligned with Oriol, it gestures to “golden/oriole” from Latin aureolus. As a blend reminiscent of -iel names, it can hint at the theophoric “God” element, though the final -el is absent. Variants and near-equivalents include Irial, Iriel, and Oriol; elaborations like Irielle occur, and nicknames Rio and Iri are plausible. Usage remains niche, appealing to parents drawn to fluid, vowel-rich forms that feel familiar yet untraceable to a single tradition.

⚙ Iriol does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
