Meaning & History
This name is most likely a combination of two given names, such as Yanira and Daniel (or an other Hebrew name that ends in -iel). Names like these are often formed from the names of the bearer's parents, since it is fairly common in Middle America and South America for parents to give their children a combination of their own names. The names Elián and Josmar are good examples of this. Last but not least, also compare the names Yeniel and Yoniel.A known bearer of this name is Yaniel Velázquez (b. 1987), a Cuban modern pentathlete.
