Meaning & Origin

Isael is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, a variant of Israel, from the Hebrew Yisra'el meaning "one who struggles with God" or "God prevails," the name given to the patriarch Jacob after his wrestling match with the angel.

Isael is used primarily within Hispanic communities in the United States as a smooth, two-syllable rendering of the ancient biblical name. Its connection to the great patriarch Jacob and the spiritual theme of perseverance gives it a quiet but powerful resonance.
