Meaning & origin
Remiel is a rare, angelic name of Hebrew origin. Since its first recorded use in 2006, it has been steadily rising in popularity, reflecting a broader trend toward unique biblical and angel-inspired names. By 2023, it reached its peak rank of 3,848, with 1 in every 61,003 boys receiving the name. Remiel's trajectory has been consistently upward, with especially notable usage in Florida and Texas. Its rarity and spiritual resonance make it an appealing choice for parents seeking a distinctive yet meaningful name.
Remiel is derived from the Hebrew elements 'racham' (compassion, mercy) or 'ra'am' (thunder) combined with 'El' (God). In apocryphal and pseudepigraphal texts, Remiel is an archangel who oversees visions and guides souls to judgment. The name appears in the Book of Enoch as one of the seven holy angels. Though ancient in origin, Remiel saw modern use beginning in the early 2000s, likely influenced by angel-themed naming trends.
