Ammiel as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Ammiel

What is the meaning of the name Ammiel ?

The baby name Ammiel is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ah-MEE-el (IPA: /əˈmiːəl/).

Ammiel is Hebrew in Origin.

Ammiel (Hebrew עַמִּיאֵל, ʿAmmīʾēl) combines ʿam, “people/kin,” with ʾEl, “God,” yielding “people of God” or “my kin is God.” Pronounced ah-mee-EL, it is a theophoric male name with a compact, resonant cadence. The element ʿam can suggest communal belonging, so the name carries a sense of covenant identity as much as personal devotion.

The name appears several times in the Hebrew Bible: a Danite scout in Numbers 13:12; Machir son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, ally of David (2 Sam 9:4); and in 1 Chronicles 3:5 as the father of Bath-shua (Bathsheba), linking to the parallel Eliam in 2 Samuel 11:3, a related form with the same roots reversed. Variants and transliterations include Amiel, Ammi-el, Ammîel, and Dutch/Scandinavian Amiël. Rare in modern usage, Ammiel sees modest revival among Jewish and Christian families seeking distinctive, scriptural choices; Amiel is the more common streamlined form.
