Sroel Origin and Meaning
The name Sroel is a boy's name of Yiddish origin.
Sroel is a rare masculine name that serves as a Yiddish variant of Israel. The name Israel has deep biblical roots, originating from Hebrew meaning 'one who struggles with God' or 'God contends.' Sroel emerged primarily in Eastern European Jewish communities as a vernacular form used in everyday life. While Israel remained the formal name for religious and official purposes, Sroel was often used conversationally. This name carries significant cultural and religious heritage within Jewish communities but remains quite uncommon in mainstream usage. As with many traditional Yiddish names, its usage declined following World War II and subsequent assimilation, though some families continue to use it to honor ancestral traditions.
