What does the name Jaziel mean?
Jaziel is a modern name used mainly in Spanish-speaking families in the US. Wiktionary lists it only as a male given name, with no etymology. It looks like biblical Hebrew names ending in -iel, from el, "God", and resembles Jaaziel, a Levite musician named in 1 Chronicles 15:18, but no source consulted documents a derivation. Meanings such as "strength of God" seen online are not supported by a dictionary.
How sure is this? Not documented. No documented origin; the biblical resemblance is noted only as a possibility.
