Hebrew, 'God is my light'; archangel of wisdom

Uriel arrives like a shaft of light through cathedral glass. In Hebrew the name translates to "God is my light," and Uriel himself is one of the archangels of Jewish mystical tradition, the keeper of wisdom and illumination. It carries the dignity of its biblical lineage without the weight, thanks to the bright, lifted vowel at its close. Long a staple in Spanish-speaking and Jewish communities, the name now sits at 461 in American rankings, an uncommon find that still reads classical. Uriel feels thoughtful, a little mystical, and entirely sure of itself.
