Haziel

Haziel is a Hebrew biblical name associated with seeing and God, traditionally interpreted as “God sees” or “vision of God.” A person named Haziel appears in the family lists in First Chronicles. That individual should not be confused with Hazael, the king whose similar-looking name belongs to a different biblical account.

Haziel’s final “el” places it alongside many Hebrew names with an explicit reference to God, but similar endings do not make their meanings identical. The resemblance to Hazel is also a matter of sound and spelling rather than a botanical origin. Families considering Haziel can keep its specific scriptural connection without borrowing stories from those neighboring names.
