Jorel Origin and Meaning

The name Jorel is a boy's name.

Jorel is a masculine name that gained recognition primarily through its fictional association as the birth name of Superman's father in DC Comics. With Kryptonian origins in that context, the real-world name may have emerged as a modern combination of traditional elements, possibly blending 'Jo' (from Joseph or Jonathan) with the '-el' suffix common in Hebrew names meaning 'of God.' While never widely used, Jorel has attracted some interest from parents seeking distinctive names with a contemporary sound but subtle connections to tradition. The name has a strong, compact quality with just two syllables, projecting clarity and strength. Its rarity ensures individuality while remaining relatively straightforward to pronounce and spell.
