Ethaniel Origin and Meaning

The name Ethaniel is a boy's name.

Ethaniel is a modern masculine variation that combines the popular biblical name Ethan with the angelic suffix '-iel,' which appears in names of angels like Gabriel and Michael. Ethan comes from Hebrew origins meaning 'strong,' 'firm,' or 'enduring,' while the '-iel' suffix typically means 'of God.' This combination creates a name with a spiritual quality that suggests both strength and divine connection. Though less common than Ethan or Nathaniel, Ethaniel has gained some interest among parents seeking a unique name with familiar sounds and religious undertones. Its rhythmic three-syllable pronunciation and familiar elements make it accessible despite its relative rarity.
