Meaning and origin of Aziel
Aziel is a Hebrew name that is usually said to mean “God is my strength”.
Aziel is a Hebrew name that appears briefly in the Bible as a Levite musician in the time of King David.

The name has become more visible recently, especially among Spanish-speaking families in the United States, fitting the fashion for names ending in -el like Gabriel and Uriel. Aziel has a gentle, melodic sound while carrying a strong meaning.
