Meaning & Origin
A male given name from Hebrew, variant of Joel.
Yoel is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, the Hebrew form of Joel, meaning 'Yahweh is God' — a compound of Yo (Yahweh, the Hebrew name for God) and El (God). In the Hebrew Bible, Joel was a prophet whose book contains one of the most poetic visions in the Old Testament.
Yoel is the traditional Hebrew pronunciation, used in Israel and in Jewish communities worldwide. It's gaining traction in the US among families who want an authentically Hebrew form of the Joel tradition. Short, strong, and carrying prophetic weight.
