About the name Izael
The origin of the spelling Izael is uncertain. The Morfemário (morpheme list) of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) links the ending -el to Hebrew el, 'God', in traditional names such as Ismael and Israel, but notes that it also appears in names of other origins, so the ending alone does not explain Izael. The name is almost always male and has records in every generation, with more people born in the 1980s and 1990s. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 9,834 people named Izael, with a median age of 37. Proportionally, it is most common in Amapá.
