Jeriell is English in Origin.

Jeriell is a modern English elaboration of Jeriel, a rare biblical name (Hebrew Yeri’el) borne by a descendant of Issachar in 1 Chronicles. Built on the theophoric -el “God,” it is most often interpreted as “reverence/awe of God,” deriving the first element from Hebrew yir’ah “awe, fear (in the reverential sense).” Some scholars connect it to the verb yarah “to instruct/guide,” yielding readings like “God teaches” or “taught by God,” so the sense clusters around devotion and divine guidance.

Usage of Jeriell is very sparse, with the double‑l spelling reflecting late‑20th‑century English tastes for -ell endings. It appears chiefly in the United States as a creative, sometimes unisex, alternative to Jeriel and to phonetic neighbors like Jerel or Jerrell. Attested variants include Jeriel, Yeriel, Jeryel, and the feminine Jerielle; short forms such as Jeri, Riel, and Eli are common nicknames.
