Azael

Azael is associated with the Greek rendering of Hazael in the Old Testament tradition. Hazael is a Hebrew name conventionally interpreted as God sees. This connection is more specific than treating Azael as an invented combination of a fashionable z sound and the familiar Hebrew ending el.

The opening h is absent in Azael, which changes the written form and may make the name look related to Aziel or Azrael. Those similar spellings should be distinguished because they have different histories and meanings. A family choosing Azael for a biblical connection can preserve the particular form it intends, rather than treating all of these names as interchangeable.
