Meaning & origin
Hadriel is a rare and modern name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2007. As of 2025, it ranks at #3757, with an incidence of approximately 1 in 58,899 male births. Its popularity has been rising since 2012, and it reached its peak rank in 2025. The name is likely of Hebrew origin, combining elements meaning 'splendor' and 'God,' though its exact etymology remains uncertain. Hadriel has not yet appeared in the top states data, indicating its usage is spread thinly across the country. For parents seeking a distinctive name with a spiritual resonance, Hadriel offers a fresh alternative to more common angelic names like Gabriel or Uriel.
Hadriel appears to be a modern elaboration of the Hebrew name Hadar, meaning 'splendor' or 'ornament,' combined with the common Hebrew suffix -el meaning 'God.' It may also be related to the angelic name Hadriel from certain apocryphal texts. The name has seen rare but rising use in the United States since the early 2000s.
