Meaning and history of Adryel
The name Adryel is a modern variation of the Hebrew name Adriel, which means "flock of God" or "herd of God." The name has its roots in ancient Semitic languages and can be traced back to the biblical era.
In the Old Testament, Adriel is mentioned as the name of a son-in-law of King Saul. According to 1 Samuel 18:19, Saul had promised his daughter Merab to David as a wife, but she was given to Adriel the Meholathite instead. This is the earliest recorded instance of the name's usage.
Throughout history, the name Adriel has been borne by several notable individuals. One of the earliest was Adriel de Bourbon, a French nobleman and crusader who lived in the 13th century. He was a prominent figure during the Eighth Crusade and fought alongside King Louis IX of France.

Adriel Wolfe was an English military engineer and cartographer who lived in the 17th century. He is best known for his detailed maps of England and Wales, which were widely used during his time.
In the 19th century, Adriel Germain was a French composer and pianist who was a prominent figure in the Romantic music era. He composed several operas, symphonies, and chamber works, many of which were inspired by his Christian faith.

FAQ
Adryel: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Adryel?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 156 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Adryel going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 2,197,143 US residents.
Is Adryel a common name?
We classify Adryel as "Very Rare". It ranks above 70.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 157 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Adryel most popular?
The single biggest year for Adryel was 2020, when 14 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Adryel is about 10 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Adryel in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Adryel a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Adryel in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Adryel still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Adryel in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Adryel can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
