Raizel is a Yiddish name, a diminutive of Royze, and means "rose", one of the classic flower names of Ashkenazi Jewish families; it is traditionally paired with the Hebrew Shoshana. Outside Orthodox communities it is rarely heard. Raizel has never been a mainstream American name: it hovered around number 3,000 for most of the last decade, reached number 2,116 in 2024 and ranks number 2,681 in 2025, with 65 births.
