      Origin

      Spanish

      Meaning

      The Hazel Tree

      Variations

      Asael, Aziel, Azalea
      The name Azael originates from Spanish and is derived from the combination of two elements: aza, meaning hazel tree, and the suffix -el, which often refers to God or a divine figure in Semitic languages. Thus, Azael can be interpreted as The Hazel Tree of God or Divine Hazel Tree.

      Throughout history, the name Azael has been associated with various mythological and religious beliefs. In some ancient texts, Azael is depicted as a fallen angel or demon, often linked to the story of the Watchers in the Book of Enoch. According to this narrative, Azael teaches forbidden knowledge to humans, leading to their corruption and the eventual flood. However, it is important to note that the interpretation and understanding of this figure may vary across different cultures and religious traditions.

      In modern-day usage, the name Azael continues to possess a sense of mystical significance. While it is not commonly encountered, it can be found in various forms of media and artistic expression.
