Yariel Origin and Meaning

The name Yariel is a boy's name meaning "lion of God".

Names ending in -iel are very much in for boys at the moment and Yariel is another to consider. Likely deriving from Ariel, it gets you the same lion-inspired meaning without such a close tie to Disney's Little Mermaid.

Popular in Puerto Rico, the name might also be linked to Yadiel, meaning "praise of God", or be made up of the Hebrew elements Yahweh and arel to create the meaning "angel of God".

Steadily used since the late 2010s, Yariel is given to around 80 boys in the US each year.
