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.

Hmm, it seems that it is an artificially created Hispanic name then, like Josimar (as is common in Latin American countries). But anyway thank you for your input, Andy. ;)
