Word Origin & History
Joel
masc. proper name, from Heb. Yoh'el, name of a minor O.T. prophet, lit. "the Lord is God;" the same name as Elijah (q.v.) but with the elements reversed. But the personal name that became common in Devon and Cornwall and the Breton districts of Yorkshire and the Eastern Counties immediately after the
Conquest is from O.Bret. Iudhael, from Iud- "chief, lord" + hael "generous." It is the source of the modern British surname Joel, as well as Jewell, Joule and Jolson.
