Meaning & origin
Ramiel is a rare angelic name of Hebrew origin that has seen a gradual increase in use since the mid-2000s. First recorded in the U.S. in 1994, it peaked in popularity in 2020 and has continued on a rising trajectory, though it still remains uncommon with a rank of 6,446 in 2024 and a 1-in-131,390 frequency. Its etymology ties to the ancient Book of Enoch, where Ramiel is one of the fallen angels. The name's similarity to other angel names like Raphael and Gabriel contributes to its appeal among parents seeking a distinctive but spiritually resonant name. Modern usage is extremely rare, with no top states reporting significant numbers.
Ramiel appears in the Hebrew tradition as the name of an angel, meaning 'thunder of God'. It is found in the Book of Enoch, an ancient Jewish religious work, where Ramiel is one of the fallen angels or watchers. The name has been adopted in modern times, particularly in English-speaking countries, where it gained visibility through popular culture, though its use remains rare.
