What does the name Haziel mean?
Haziel is a Hebrew name from the Bible: a Levite named Haziel is listed among the sons of Shimei in 1 Chronicles 23:9. The name seems to combine el, "God", with the Hebrew root h-z-h, "to see", but none of the sources consulted gives an analysis of the name, so no meaning is shown. In the US it is used mainly in Spanish-speaking families.
חֲזִיאֵל (Hebrew, “Haziel”)חָזָה (Hebrew, “to see”)
How sure is this? Uncertain. The parts (h-z-h 'to see' + el 'God') suggest 'God sees', but no source consulted confirms this.
Pronunciation: In Spanish the h is silent and the z is said like s.
