Counsel of God or mighty counselor
Rayniel is a modern compound name, likely blending the Germanic root 'Ray' (meaning counsel or advice) with the Hebrew suffix '-el' (meaning God). It follows the linguistic pattern of traditional angelic names like Gabriel or Daniel, though it is a contemporary creation. It is most frequently found in Spanish-speaking communities in the Caribbean and the United States.
