Refael

Refael is a masculine name of Hebrew origin, primarily used in Jewish communities. It is a variant of the name Rafael or Raphael, which means 'God has healed' or 'healing of God.' The name derives from the Hebrew elements 'rapha' (to heal) and 'el' (God). In Jewish tradition, Refael is associated with the archangel Raphael, who is considered the angel of healing. This spelling variation with 'f' instead of 'ph' reflects the closer transliteration from Hebrew. The name has gained modest popularity in Israel and among Jewish communities worldwide, valued for its spiritual significance and meaningful connection to healing and divine protection.

Pronounced ruh-fah-EL.
