About the name Antoniel
The origin of Antoniel is uncertain. The name begins like Antônio, which Wiktionary gives as a learned borrowing from Latin Antonius, and ends in -el, a formative that the Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) links to the Hebrew el, 'God', found in traditional names such as Daniel and Gabriel and in Brazilian names such as Franciel and Janiel. Most records are of people born in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, and the name remains in use among those born after 2010. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 10,887 people named Antoniel, with a median age of 32.
