Izael is a modern name used mainly in Hispanic families in the United States and Mexico; it has no traditional meaning and is best understood as "a modern blend of Israel and Azael" or a respelling of Ismael with the fashionable Iz- opening. Its -ael ending ties it to the angelic Hebrew names like Azael and Misael. Izael was almost unknown a decade ago, entered the US top 1000 in 2023 and ranks number 767 in 2025, its best rank so far.
