Ismeal Origin and Meaning

The name Ismeal is a boy's name of Arabic origin.

Ismeal is a male name that appears to be a spelling variation of Ishmael or Ismael. The traditional name has Hebrew origins meaning 'God will hear' or 'God has heard.' In Biblical tradition, Ishmael was the son of Abraham and Hagar. This specific spelling variant, Ismeal, is quite uncommon and may have developed through regional pronunciation differences or as a unique adaptation by families seeking a distinctive version of the traditional name. While the standard spellings Ishmael and Ismael are relatively common in various cultures, particularly in Muslim communities where Ismail is an important prophet, the Ismeal variant remains rare. The name carries connotations of being heard or acknowledged by divine forces.
