Yadel

Meaning of Yadel

Yadel, pronounced YAH-del (/jɑːˈdɛl/), is a masculine given name of debated etymological provenance, often analyzed as a compound of the Hebrew theophoric elements Yah (a shortened form of Yahweh) and El (God), thus connoting “God uplifts” or “praised by God.” Although its historical lineage remains sparse in classical onomastic records, Yadel aligns structurally with contemporary Anglo-American naming conventions through its concise, two-syllable form and biblically resonant morphology. In the United States, Yadel has occupied a consistently rare but stable position within the Social Security Administration’s annual rankings: between 2007 and 2024, it appeared with annual occurrences ranging from five to nine boys, achieving ranks between 881 (2007) and 921 (2023), and most recently registering eight births in 2024 at rank 916. This pattern of low-frequency yet recurrent usage underscores its appeal to parents seeking a technically precise, analytically grounded choice that merges modern succinctness with a subtle nod to enduring linguistic heritage.
