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.

Montevideo City
last on record 1999
Jaziel is not on the 2011 record for Montevideo, whose registry withholds nothing, so the spelling was not given there that year.
The count never rose above 1 in a year, too few to chart.
Births in the department of Montevideo (not all of Uruguay) by first name and year of birth, 1940–2011, from the city’s civil registry, which writes names in capitals, almost always without accents; counted as spelling groups (accent and punctuation variants merged), nothing is withheld at source, and 2012 is excluded as a partial year. Source: Servicio de Registro Civil, Intendencia de Montevideo, Partidas de Registro Civil de Montevideo (Licencia de Datos Abiertos - Uruguay); 2012 dropped as partial
Not on the record in Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and Poland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.
Not on the France record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 20 births in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the South Australia record for 1944 to 2017: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the Austria record for 1984 to 2025: Statistik Austria publishes every first name down to a single birth, so this name was not given there in those years (before 2010 the record covers babies with Austrian citizenship only). Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
