ORIGIN & HISTORY

About the name

Aziel's clearest documented anchor is as an alternate biblical form of Jaaziel, a Levite musician; beyond that, its exact derivation is unsettled between a 'God comforts' reading and a possible kinship with the better-documented name Uzziel ('my power is God'/'God is my strength').
