What is the meaning of the name Jeiel ?

The baby name Jeiel is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced English: JEH-ee-el or JEE-ee-el; Hebrew (approx.): Yeh-HEE-el (Yechiel).

Jeiel is Hebrew in Origin.

Jeiel is a Hebrew biblical name (Yəʿîʾēl) borne by several minor figures, including a Levitical musician in David’s court (1 Chronicles 16:5), certain officials in Judah, and men listed among the returnees in Ezra. Some English versions alternate Jeiel and Jehiel for related entries, reflecting different vocalizations in the Masoretic text.

The final -el means “God”; the first element is debated, yielding interpretations such as “carried away by God,” “gathered by God,” or, when aligned with the cognate Jehiel (Yehiel), “God lives.” Because of this uncertainty, Jeiel is often grouped with Jehiel as a variant. Other spellings include Jehiel, Jeuel, Yeiel, and, in Latin American and West African usage, Jeiel unchanged. Traditionally masculine, it has occasional unisex use today. The name remains rare but familiar in Bible-reading communities, and its crisp, two-syllable sound (JAY-ell or jee-EL) appeals to parents seeking an uncommon scriptural choice.
