jegudiel is Hebrew in Origin.

Jegudiel is a theophoric masculine name rooted in Hebrew Yehudiel (often parsed as Yeḥūdīʾēl), built from the verb yadah “to praise/acknowledge” and the divine element El “God.” Its meaning is typically rendered “Praise of God” or “God is praised.” The name is best known from Christian angelology as one of the seven archangels, especially venerated in Eastern Orthodox and some Catholic traditions. In iconography, Jegudiel bears a crown and a scourge, symbols of reward for faithful labor and corrective discipline, shaping the name’s devotional associations.

As a given name it is rare but occurs in Slavic and Mediterranean Christian contexts; the spelling Jegudiel reflects Church Slavonic/Russian transmission (Иегудиил). Established variants include Jehudiel, Iehudiel, Yehudiel, and Jhudiel (notably in Spanish- and Filipino-speaking communities). Usage appears more often in baptismal or confirmation names than in civil records, and feminine forms (e.g., Jehudiela) are modern and exceedingly uncommon.
