What Does the Name Usiel Mean?
Usiel is a spelling of the Hebrew name Uzziel (עֻזִּיאֵל, ʿUzzīʾēl), from ʿuzzi ("my strength") and ʾEl ("God"). The customary English meaning is "God is my strength"; more literally the elements read "my strength is God." The related form Uziel is common in Spanish and other languages. It is not related to Uriel, which comes from different Hebrew elements meaning "God is my light."
Usiel Name History & Origins
The biblical name Uzziel belongs to several men in the Hebrew Bible. The best-known is Uzziel son of Kohath and grandson of Levi (Exodus 6:18); his sons Mishael and Elzaphan carry the bodies of Nadab and Abihu out of the camp (Leviticus 10:4). Other figures named Uzziel include a Simeonite captain (1 Chronicles 4:42), a Benjamite (1 Chronicles 7:7), Levite musicians and gatekeepers (1 Chronicles 15:10; 25:4; 26:23), and a goldsmith who helped repair Jerusalem's wall (Nehemiah 3:8). In the Greek Septuagint the name appears as Oziel (Οζιηλ), and the Latin Vulgate also has Oziel. English Bibles of the 16th and 17th centuries, including the King James Version, generally use Uzziel. The spelling Usiel appears as a variant alongside Uzziel and the Spanish/Portuguese Uziel. In Jewish tradition, the descendants of the biblical Uzziel are called the Uzzielites (1 Chronicles 26:23).
