Jöel Origin and Meaning

The name Jöel is a boy's name of French origin.

Jöel is a masculine name derived from the Hebrew name Yoel, meaning 'Yahweh is God.' The addition of the umlaut over the 'o' gives it a distinctive Scandinavian or Germanic touch, though this spelling variation is less common than the standard Joel. The biblical Joel was a prophet whose writings appear in the Book of Joel in the Old Testament. The name has been used across many Christian countries for centuries and remains moderately popular. Jöel combines religious significance with a touch of European flair, making it appealing to parents seeking a name with both spiritual depth and unique character. The pronunciation typically emphasizes the two distinct syllables: jo-EL.
