My sun or God has helped
Josiel is a rare name likely formed as a combination of the Hebrew elements 'Yos' (referencing Jehovah) and 'El' (God), or as a variant of Josiel, which can be interpreted as 'God is my sun' in some Spanish-speaking contexts. It follows the popular 'el' ending pattern found in many angelic and biblical names. While not found in the Bible itself, it carries a strong religious resonance.
