Meaning & origin
Azarel is a rare Hebrew name that has seen modest growth in the United States since the year 2000, when it first entered the Social Security records. With a current rank of 8910 and approximately 1 in 213,510 boys receiving the name in 2025, it remains an uncommon choice. Its trajectory shows a steady rise in usage since 2004, peaking in popularity in 2024. The name has not yet been recorded among the top baby names in any U.S. state, underscoring its niche appeal. Parents drawn to Azarel often appreciate its biblical roots, which connect it to a minor figure in the Book of Chronicles, and its clear theophoric meaning that points to divine assistance.
Azarel is a Hebrew name derived from the elements 'azar' (to help) and 'El' (God). It appears in the Hebrew Bible as a minor figure, notably in 1 Chronicles 12:6 as one of David's warriors. The name is rare in historical use but has seen some modern adoption in English-speaking countries, often chosen for its strong religious connotation.
