God will uplift or Jehovah is exalted
Jorel is often considered a modern variant of Jerel or Jorell, likely influenced by the Hebrew name Jeremiel or the phonetic blending of names like Joel and Darrell. It gained pop culture recognition as the name of Superman's father in DC Comics, though spelled Jor-El in that context. In a secular sense, it is viewed as a contemporary American invention with a melodic, strong sound.
About 8 boys were named Jorel in 2025.
