Jeziel is Hebrew in Origin.
Jeziel is a rare biblical Hebrew given name appearing in some English Bible translations, notably the King James Version (1 Chronicles 12:3), for a Benjamite who joined David. The name is theophoric, ending in -el “God,” and is commonly treated as a transliteration variant of Jeiel (Yə‘îʾēl) or Jaaziel (Ya‘azîʾēl), both attested in Chronicles. Because these Hebrew forms share overlapping consonants, English spellings have varied across editions.
Meaning is debated: linked to Jaaziel, it is read “God is strength/whom God strengthens” (from ‘oz/‘az, strength); linked to Jeiel, traditional glosses include “carried away by God” or “God sweeps away.” Modern variants and near-equivalents include Jeiel, Jaaziel, Jaziel, and Yeziel; usage today is modest but growing, especially among Spanish- and English-speaking Christian families, where it is chiefly masculine though occasionally used unisex.
