Adriel

עַדְרִיאֵל

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Biblical / Rabbinic Hebrew
• Meaning: God's flock

• Adriel appears in the Hebrew Bible as the man to whom King Saul gave his daughter Merav in marriage. His name weaves together two Hebrew words, one meaning "flock" and the other meaning "God," painting a picture of divine shepherding and tender care. It is rooted in the pastoral side of biblical life, where guarding a flock was not just a job but a sacred trust.

  In the Bible, Adriel the Meholathite married King Saul's daughter Merab, making him the earliest notable bearer of this name meaning "flock of God." Sleek and contemporary, this name sits right alongside Gabriel and Ezriel yet remains far less common. It crosses over effortlessly into Spanish and English-speaking communities, giving it genuine global range. That built-in rarity is a real asset — a name with deep biblical roots that still feels like a discovery.
