Adael

Names ending in -iel or -ael are very much in for boys, with Azrael, Aziel, Gabriel, Rafael, and Jasiel in the US charts. Adael is another to add into the mix. An option for those who like Adam but want something with more of a twist, this name is derived from Adiel or Adaiah, meaning "ornament or adornment of God".

Rarely used until 2023, this name saw a brief spike in popularity when it was given to around 150 boys, more than seven times the number born in the year prior. In a more recent count, however, the number of babies called Adael had halved.

Pronounced ah-DAH-el.

As of October 2026, Adael ranked #1868 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1271 in 2023.
