Adiel

Adiel is a Hebrew biblical name traditionally interpreted as “ornament of God.” Its elements connect adornment or an ornament with El, the word for God found in many Hebrew names. Adiel appears among the people named in Chronicles, giving it a scriptural history even though it is less immediately recognizable than Daniel or Samuel.

The name has a light, flowing sound with a clear final el, which may appeal to families who like Gabriel or Ariel but want another option. Adi offers a straightforward short form. Adiel and Adriel look especially close on paper, yet they are separate names and should not be treated as interchangeable spellings. Checking that distinction can help parents choose the history and meaning they actually want.
