Yechiel

Yechiel is a Hebrew masculine given name. It derives from the Hebrew roots yechi (יְחִי), meaning "may he live" or "he will live", and El (אֵל), meaning "God". Thus, Yechiel can be interpreted to mean "May God live" or "God will live." It is considered a theophoric name, meaning it incorporates a divine name within it.

The name Yechiel is found throughout Jewish history and literature, and remains in use today within Jewish communities.
