Jayel is of Hebrew origin and means "God is the Lord." It is a unique and modern unisex name, combining the elements of the names Jael (meaning "mountain goat") and Yael (also meaning "mountain goat" but often associated with the biblical figure who played a significant role in the story of Deborah). The name Jayel offers a distinctive sound while still having roots in history and culture. It is not frequently used, making it an excellent choice for parents seeking something different yet meaningful for their child.
The name Jayel experienced some fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a notable spike in 2008 and a consistent presence from 2011 to 2013, before dropping off again until a recent increase in 2020.
