Azariel is a modern blend of two Hebrew names, Azriel, "God is my help", and Azariah, "Yahweh has helped", and so carries the meaning "God is my help". It fits the current wave of angelic -iel and -el names such as Uriel, Ezekiel and Azrael. Azariel had fewer than five births in 2000, was still at number 10817 in 2015, then rose sharply through the 2020s and reaches its best rank, number 2454, in 2025 with 55 boys.
