My light; or a modern reversal of Leroy
Yorel is a rare name with two primary theories of origin. It is often interpreted as a variant of the Hebrew name Uriel, meaning 'God is my light.' Alternatively, it is frequently cited as a creative reversal of the French-derived name Leroy, which means 'the king.'
