Jehudiel is a theophoric name of Hebrew origin, parsed from the verb yadah “to praise, give thanks” and El “God,” yielding the meaning “praise of God” or “God is praised.” The name is chiefly known from Eastern Christian tradition as one of the Seven Archangels (commonly spelled Jegudiel), venerated in Byzantine and Slavic iconography and devotional texts. Though absent from the canonical Bible, it appears in later liturgical lists of archangels and became a rare given name in Orthodox and some Catholic contexts, where the figure is associated with reward for righteous labor and steadfast service.

Forms include Jegudiel, Yehudiel, Jhudiel, and the Slavic Iegudiel (Russian Иегудиил); Yehudiel is a scholarly transliteration. Usage today is uncommon but found sporadically in Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Philippines. The name carries a solemn, worshipful tone and appeals to parents drawn to angelic or theophoric heritage.
