Meaning & origin
Haziel first entered U.S. birth records in 1992 and has been on a rising trajectory since 1994. By 2025, it reached its peak rank at 795th, with 1 in 5,388 newborn boys receiving the name. Its growth has been strongest in states like New Mexico, Kansas, and Arizona. Though still uncommon, Haziel appeals to parents seeking a name with biblical roots and a modern sound, fitting within the broader trend of El- names that have gained popularity in recent decades.
Haziel is a biblical name of Hebrew origin, derived from the elements 'chazah' (to see) and 'El' (God), thus meaning 'God sees' or 'vision of God.' In the Old Testament, Haziel is a minor figure, a Levite mentioned in 1 Chronicles 23:9. The name has been used sparingly in Christian communities but has seen a resurgence in the United States since the 1990s, particularly among Spanish-speaking populations as a variant of the more common Jaziel or Hazael.
