The name Amraphel is a boy's name of Hebrew origin meaning "one that speaks dark things, he of dark words".

Do you love the likes of Raphael, Amadeus, and Azrael but want something rarer? This Hebrew Biblical option, borne by a king of Shinar (also known as Sumar) who appears in the Book of Genesis, has an intriguingly dark meaning, likely coming from amar meaning "talk, command" and aphel meaning "dark, obscure". Other sources link the second element to apilah giving it the alternative meaning of "to cast and command down".
