Meaning, origin, history
The name Aniel is of Hebrew origin and means "God is my judge". It is a variant spelling of the more common name Daniel, which has the same meaning. The name Aniel is not particularly popular, but it is not entirely unknown either. According to some sources, there have been a few famous people with this name throughout history, such as Aniel Lewin, a Polish rabbi and scholar who lived in the 16th century. However, it is difficult to determine how common or widespread the name was during that time period. Today, Aniel remains a rare but meaningful name choice for parents looking for something a bit different from the traditional Daniel.
