Meaning and history
Aziel is a biblical Hebrew name generally interpreted as "God comforts," though it is also sometimes treated as a form related to Uzziel. In the Old Testament, Aziel is named among the Levite musicians appointed to accompany the Ark of the Covenant, giving the name an ancient religious and musical association.
Aziel rose from #254 to #186 for boys between 2024 and 2025. That year also produced its highest recorded birth count, at 1,975.
