The Name Ariel for a Boy
Question
Hello Rabbi, I would appreciate receiving a Torah perspective regarding the name Ariel. I feel a connection to this name but would like to know if it is a good name. I would be grateful for your detailed response. Thank you very much!
Answer
Greetings of joy, The name Ariel is good for a boy.
Sources: We find in the Tanach a person named Ariel; see the book of Ezra (chapter 8, verse 16). It is also brought in the book Yeshuot Mordechai (page 116) in the name of the Gaon Rabbi M. Eliyahu, of blessed memory, that the name Ariel is good for boys.
With much blessing,
