ArchivesRe: azriel and zariel
in reply to a message by Brittany Smith
Azriel is a variation of Azrael, which is already in the database.
Zariel does not mean 'Lion Princess'. The Hebrew name Ariel means 'Lion of God'. As 'z' does not mean 'princess', there is no logical etymology for this name. The only thing I can think of is that it's a combination of 'Sarah' and 'Ariel', which would hypothetically mean 'Lion Princess of God', but it's still a made-up name with, as far as I can tell, no real etymological meaning. Also, Ariel is traditionally male, not female.
