Azrael is associated with the meaning “Angel of death, help of God” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Azrael comes from the Hebrew name Azra'el, meaning "Help of God" or "Whom God Helps." The root breaks down into azra, meaning "help," and el, the Hebrew word for God. The name appears in Jewish, Islamic, and Christian religious traditions, making it one of the older angelic names in recorded history.
