Joel is an Aramite name, precursor of Hebrew and Arabic languages. It is a name in the Levant used by Christians Moslems and Jews. In Arabic Wa-el, in Hebrew Yo-el, and Latin Joel. Similarly the names Levy, Sara, Elizabeth, and Joseph... and that’s why they are used simultaneously by all denominations in the Levant as an ancestral rather than religious name.
