What is the meaning of the name Joeli ?

The baby name Joeli is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced jo-EL-ee (English: /dʒoʊˈɛli/),JOH-eh-lee (alternate: /ˈdʒoʊəli/).

Joeli is Hebrew in Origin.

Joeli is a cross-cultural given name rooted in the Hebrew Yo’el, meaning “Yahweh is God.” Through the biblical prophet Joel and the Book of Joel, the name spread widely in Judeo‑Christian traditions. In Fiji and parts of the Pacific, missionary translation practices established Joeli as the common local form, and it remains well-used for men there. The spelling also appears in Latin America and the English-speaking world as a modern, sometimes feminine, twist on Joel/Joely, though it is still relatively rare.

Variants and cognates include Joel (English and international), Yoel (Spanish/Hebrew transliteration), Joël and Joëlle (French masculine and feminine), Joely (modern English feminine), and Samoan Ioeli. Nicknames such as Joe or Jo occur in many languages. Across settings, the core meaning affirms devotion - “the Lord is God” - while the -i ending lends a soft, contemporary sound with unisex appeal.
