Rephael is Hebrew in Origin.
Rephael is a Hebrew theophoric name from Rafa’el (רָפָאֵל), combining rafa, “to heal,” with ’El, “God,” yielding “God has healed” or “God heals.” In the Hebrew Bible, Raphael is not named, but in Second Temple literature and the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit he appears as the archangel associated with healing and safe journeys; this secured the name in Jewish and Christian tradition. Renaissance reverence, especially through the painter Raphael, expanded its European appeal.
Rephael represents a conservative transliteration used in some Jewish contexts; common cognates include Raphael (English) and Raphaël (French), Rafael (Spanish/Portuguese), Raffaele and Raffaello (Italian), Rafał (Polish), Rafel (Catalan), and Refael/Refa'el (Modern Hebrew). Feminine forms: Raphaela, Rafaela, Raffaella. Short forms and nicknames include Rafe, Raph, Rafa, and Fael. Typical pronunciations are reh-fah-EL in Hebrew-oriented usage and RAF-ee-əl or RAY-fee-əl in English.
