Raphel Origin and Meaning

The name Raphel is a boy's name.

Raphel is a masculine name that serves as a variation of the more common Raphael, which has Hebrew origins meaning 'God has healed.' Raphael appears in religious traditions as one of the archangels. The Raphel spelling maintains the name's spiritual heritage while offering a slightly more streamlined form without the additional 'a.' This variation is considerably less common than the traditional spelling, giving it a distinctive quality. The name carries connotations of healing, protection, and divine assistance from its biblical roots. Though rare in most English-speaking countries, Raphel might be chosen by parents who appreciate the rich history and meaning of Raphael but desire a more unique presentation of the name, or by those with cultural connections to regions where this variant may be more frequently used.
