Joell is French, Hebrew in Origin.
Joell is a modern respelling of the biblical name Joel, from Hebrew Yoʾel, meaning “Yahweh is God” or “the LORD is God.” In the Hebrew Bible, Joel is a minor prophet and the eponym of the Book of Joel, which helped carry the name into Jewish and, later, Christian use. English-speaking adoption grew after the Reformation, when scriptural names flourished, and continued with periodic revivals through the 20th century.
The Joell form is primarily seen in North America and is sometimes treated as unisex because of its closeness to French Joëlle/Joelle. Related variants include Joel, Joël (French/Swiss), Joëlle/Joelle (feminine), Yoel (Hebrew/Spanish), and Jóel (Icelandic). Diminutives range from Joe and Jo to Jojo and Elle (for feminine use). Today, Joell offers a distinctive, streamlined twist on a venerable theophoric classic while keeping the familiar pronunciation jo-EL.
