Zoel

The name Zoel is a rare masculine name with Hebrew origins. It is considered a patronymic, meaning 'son of Joel.' The name Joel itself is derived from the Hebrew name Yo'el (יוֹאֵל), meaning 'Yahweh is God.' While Joel is a well-established biblical name, Zoel is a much less common variant or derivative.

Its rarity suggests it may have emerged as a localized or family-specific variation of Joel, or perhaps as a phonetic adaptation in certain regions. It does not appear in major biblical texts or ancient historical records as a distinct name, further supporting its status as a more modern or regional development from the root name Joel.
