Strong's Lexicon Adriel: Adriel Original Word: עַדְרִיאֵל Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עֵדֶר (eder, meaning "flock") and אֵל (El, meaning "God"), thus "flock of God" or "my help is God." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Adriel in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the concept of "flock" and "God" can be related to Greek terms like ποιμήν (poimēn, meaning "shepherd") and θεός (theos, meaning "God"). Usage: Adriel is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "flock of God" or "my help is God." It signifies a person who is under the care or protection of God, akin to a shepherd tending to his flock. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the child's birth. Adriel, as a name, would have conveyed a sense of divine protection and providence, which was a common theme in the naming conventions of the time.
