覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Joel は旧約聖書の預言者名に由来する英語圏の男性名で、ヘブライ語 Yo'el の Yo「ヤハウェ」と El「神」を合わせた名です。Daniel や Michael にも神を表す El が含まれる点を手掛かりにできます。固有名詞なので通常は Joel と大文字で書き、Joe とは別名、jewel「宝石」とも綴りを区別します。
Remember Joel as a biblical name built from two Hebrew divine elements: Yo, referring to Yahweh, and El, “God.” The name therefore carries the traditional meaning “Yahweh is God.” Connect its final element with other biblical names containing El, such as Daniel and Michael. Joel names both a prophet and a book of the Old Testament, as well as many modern men. Capitalize it as a proper name. Keep it separate from Joe, a different given name, and from jewel, the common noun for a precious stone.

ヘブライ語 Yo'el（יואל）に由来し、Yo（ヤハウェ＝神）+ El（神）で「ヤハウェは神である」を意味する。旧約聖書の預言者ヨエルの名として知られる。同じEl を含む名にMichael（ミカエル）やDaniel（ダニエル）がある。
Joel comes through biblical tradition from Hebrew Yo'el. The name combines Yo, a shortened form associated with the divine name Yahweh, and El, the Hebrew word for “God,” producing the traditional interpretation “Yahweh is God.” Joel appears as the name of a prophet in the Hebrew Bible, and the Book of Joel bears his name. Through biblical translation and Christian usage, it became established as a male given name in English.
