Origin
Meaning and history of Yuthiel
The name Yuthiel is of Hebrew origin, and its roots can be traced back to ancient Judaic traditions dating back thousands of years. The name is derived from the Hebrew words "yuth" meaning "to be suitable" and "El" which is one of the Hebrew names for God, suggesting a meaning along the lines of "suitable for God" or "fit for the divine."
In Jewish mystical texts, particularly those related to Kabbalah, Yuthiel is mentioned as the name of an archangel or high-ranking angel. This celestial being is said to be responsible for overseeing and guiding the process of conception and the formation of new life in the womb. Yuthiel is invoked in certain rituals and prayers associated with fertility, pregnancy, and safe childbirth.
The earliest recorded instances of the name Yuthiel can be found in ancient Hebrew manuscripts and texts dating back to the Middle Ages. One notable figure bearing this name was Yuthiel ben Eliezer, a renowned Talmudic scholar and commentator who lived in Spain during the 13th century. His works and interpretations of Jewish law and scripture were highly influential in his time and continue to be studied by scholars to this day.
Another historical figure with the name Yuthiel was a 16th-century rabbi and kabbalist from Poland, Yuthiel ben Moshe Ashkenazi. He was known for his expertise in the mystical teachings of the Kabbalah and his contributions to the field of Jewish mysticism.
In the 17th century, Yuthiel Raphael ben Yitzchak Naftali was a renowned Jewish philosopher and theologian from Italy. His writings explored the intersections of Jewish thought, philosophy, and theology, and he was highly regarded for his intellectual prowess and erudition.
Yuthiel ben Shlomo Zalman, a 19th-century Lithuanian rabbi and scholar, was also a notable figure. He was revered for his vast knowledge of the Talmud and Jewish law, and his insights and teachings were widely studied and disseminated among his contemporaries and future generations of scholars.
While not a common name in modern times, the name Yuthiel remains a part of Jewish cultural heritage and tradition, carrying deep spiritual and historical significance rooted in ancient Judaic beliefs and practices.

FAQ
Yuthiel: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Yuthiel?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 14 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Yuthiel 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 24,482,453 US residents.
Is Yuthiel a common name?
We classify Yuthiel as "Very Rare". It ranks above 34% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 14 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Yuthiel most popular?
The single biggest year for Yuthiel was 2023, when 9 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Yuthiel is about 3 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 Yuthiel in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Yuthiel a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Yuthiel in the SSA data are male. 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 Yuthiel still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Yuthiel 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 Yuthiel 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.
