Origin
Meaning and history of Azrielle
The name Azrielle is a relatively modern variation of the Hebrew name Azriel, which means "help of God" or "God is my helper." The name traces its origins back to ancient Hebrew and Judaic culture, with roots in the Middle Eastern regions where the Hebrew language originated.
Azriel is a combination of two Hebrew words: "ezrah," meaning "help," and "el," which refers to God or a deity. The name Azriel has been used for centuries within the Jewish community, and it appears in various religious texts and historical records throughout the ages.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Azriel can be found in the Babylonian Talmud, a central text of Rabbinic Judaism dating back to the 3rd to 5th centuries CE. In the Talmud, Azriel is mentioned as the name of an angel who presides over the vegetation of the earth.
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals who bore the name Azriel or its variations. One of the earliest was Azriel ben Menachem, a prominent Jewish scholar and philosopher who lived in the 16th century in Italy. He was known for his works on Jewish law and ethics.
Another significant figure was Azriel Hildesheimer, a 19th-century German rabbi and scholar who played a crucial role in the development of Orthodox Judaism in Germany. He was born in 1820 and died in 1899.
In the 20th century, Azriel Shulvass was a renowned Israeli biochemist and academic. He was born in 1899 in Russia and later emigrated to British Mandatory Palestine, where he made significant contributions to the field of biochemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Azriel Carlebach, born in 1909 and died in 1956, was a prominent Jewish rabbi and scholar from Germany. He was known for his efforts in reviving and preserving Jewish spiritual traditions, particularly in the aftermath of the Holocaust.
More recently, Azriel Rosenfeld was an Israeli computer scientist and academic who made significant contributions to the field of computer vision and image processing. He was born in 1931 and passed away in 2022.
While the name Azriel has deep roots in Jewish culture and history, the variation Azrielle has gained popularity in recent decades, particularly in English-speaking countries. This modern spelling reflects the influence of other languages and cultural traditions on the original Hebrew name.

FAQ
Azrielle: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Azrielle?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 286 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Azrielle going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 1,198,442 US residents.
Is Azrielle a common name?
We classify Azrielle as "Very Rare". It ranks above 78.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 288 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Azrielle most popular?
The single biggest year for Azrielle was 2017, when 29 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Azrielle is about 11 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Azrielle in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Azrielle a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Azrielle in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Azrielle still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Azrielle in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Azrielle can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
