ArchivesJaffiel?
I'm just wondering if anybody knows anything about this name. I found it in a baby name book, and it said that it was a boy's name and Spanish in origin, but it doesn't seem Spanish to me. I have looked for it online, too, and have found nothing about it. Thanks!

This is just a guess, but..... in Hebrew, Yafa carries the meaning of "lovely" or "beautiful", and "El" means, simply, God.
Meaning this name may be a Spanish variation on a Hebrew name meaning something like "Lovely is my God".

A Google search for "Jaffiel" gives an exceptionally low hit count of around 500, and among the 1 billion people or so on Facebook there seems to be not a single one with this name, which again is quite extraordinary.
Based on this I would say somebody probably invented/coined this name, and did so quite recently. Or, the other way round, chances are very low that this is a name that is "established" in any signifikant way, and has an origin that one knows about.
