Definition
A male given name of Hebrew origin, meaning 'God heals,' traditionally associated with an archangel in religious texts.
Etymology
From Hebrew 'Refael,' composed of 'refa' (healing) and 'el' (God), reflecting Semitic religious naming traditions that encoded divine attributes.
Kelly Says
Rafael the archangel is called the 'healing angel' across Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—making it one of the few religious figures who transcends different faiths and appears in all three major monotheistic religions!
