Scripts אוּרִיאֵל (Hebrew)
From the Hebrew name אוּרִיאֵל (‘Uri’el) meaning “God is my light”, from אוּר (‘ur) meaning “light, flame” and אֵל (‘el) meaning “God”. Uriel is an archangel in Hebrew tradition. He is mentioned only in the Apocrypha, for example in the Book of Enoch where he warns Noah of the coming flood.
There are two or three men named Uriel in the Bible:
A descendant of Kohath of Levi (1 Chronicles 6:24), who might be the same as:
