      The name Azel, derived from Hebrew roots, has an enduring presence throughout history and continues to be used in modern times. While the precise meaning of the name remains elusive, its origins can be traced back to ancient Hebrew sources. In the Hebrew language, names often hold significant symbolism and reflect cultural values.

      Historically, the name Azel has been found in biblical texts, serving as the appellation for various individuals. Notably, in the Old Testament book of Chronicles, Azel is mentioned as the son of Jehallelel, a prominent figure from the tribe of Benjamin.
