Meaning of the name מאריאל

Mariel is a stunning Hebrew feminine name that combines the word 'mar' meaning 'drop' or 'bitterness' with the divine element 'El', creating a profound meaning of 'drop of God' or 'bitterness of God'. The name carries within it the emotional tension between sweetness and bitterness, between the divine and the human, representing the complexity of life itself. In Hebrew tradition, the word 'mar' appears in various contexts - from 'Miriam' meaning bitterness to 'mor' which is a precious spice. The combination with 'El' grants the name a spiritual dimension and connects it to the biblical tradition of theophoric names - names that carry within them the name of God.

In this sense, the name Mariel carries a message of hope, of the ability to find light even in darkness, and of understanding that life is composed of a variety of emotions and experiences. In modern Hebrew culture, the name Mariel is also interpreted as an expression of emotional depth and spiritual sensitivity.
