Help[Facts] Re: The masculine name Joriel or Yoriel.
in reply to a message by Dorchadas
YORIEL is not a biblical name. It does fit in the traditional Hebrew naming scheme. It could be composed of the element El, as you are suggesting and the verb yara, to fear (yod-resh-aleph). A possible translation would be "he, who fears God." But this no more than an educated guess.
