Meaning: My crown is god

Katriel is a Hebrew name meaning "my crown is God, " composed of the Hebrew words "keter" (crown) and "el" (God). Originally a strictly male name, it has been used for both sexes in English. The name has been in use since at least the Middle Ages and is considered traditional and old-fashioned in Israel. It has also been used as a surname originating from the given name. In the U. S, Katriel is relatively rare, with only a few instances of its use in recent years. The name's popularity has waxed and waned over time, influenced by cultural and linguistic trends. Its unique blend of Hebrew and English usage has made it an interesting choice for parents seeking a distinctive name with deep roots. The name's evolution from a strictly male to a more versatile name highlights the dynamic nature of naming traditions. Its similarity to Katriel (a variant of Katherine), a well-known female name, adds to its appeal and familiarity.
