Exequiel Origin and Meaning

The name Exequiel is a boy's name of Spanish origin.

Exequiel is a masculine name derived from the Hebrew name Yechezkel (Ezekiel), meaning 'God strengthens' or 'God will strengthen.' This particular spelling is most common in Spanish-speaking countries, especially in Argentina, Chile, and other Latin American nations. The name has biblical roots, as Ezekiel was an important prophet in the Old Testament. While maintaining its traditional heritage, Exequiel has a distinctive sound that sets it apart from the more common English version. The name carries spiritual significance for many families while offering a less common alternative to more widespread biblical names. Though not among the most popular names globally, Exequiel maintains steady usage in Hispanic communities and is recognized for its strong religious connections and melodic pronunciation.
