About the name Jeziel
Bible Hub lists in 1 Chronicles 12:3 the Hebrew form יְזַוְאֵל (Yezavel, with the variant Yeziel), which the King James renders as Jeziel, based on the margin. Strong's explains the name as 'sprinkled by God', an old gloss that other reference works do not confirm; for this reason the meaning of Jeziel is not firmly established. The ending -iel corresponds to Hebrew el, 'God', according to the Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 1,480 people named Jeziel, with a median age of 34. It is almost always a male name and, proportionally, it is most common in Minas Gerais.
