Meaning
“Hebrew biblical name (1 Chronicles), traditionally translated as 'strength of God'”
The story
Jaziel is a biblical name from First Chronicles, traditionally translated strength of God, and it is the second member of the -ziel surge this site has mapped: Aziel, six batches back, was one of the two sharpest live risers in the records, and Jaziel is running the same hill: about 600 in the 2000s, 2,300 in the 2010s, and already 6,300 so far this decade, nearly triple the full 2010s with years to run. The current carrying both is the one Aziel's story named, Hebrew-rooted -el names beloved of Latino Christian families, Adriel and Azael in the same procession, each charting separately. In our records it goes to boys about 9,300 to 110. A minor Levite with one verse to his name, suddenly given thousands of American namesakes a year: the Bible's back pages are having their decade, and the record shows exactly which ones.
