Yoël

Yoël is a male given name of Hebrew origin, a form of the name Joel. It generally means "Yahweh is God." The Hebrew form Yo'el (יוֹאֵל) is formed from Yahweh and el (God). In transliteration it appears as Yoel, Yo'el, or Yoël, with Yoël commonly used in French-language contexts to indicate the final el sound.

In the Hebrew Bible, Yo'el is the name of a prophet who authored the Book of Joel. The book is part of the prophetic writings and addresses themes such as repentance, judgment, and restoration, including the Day of the Lord. The form Yoël is the Hebrew rendering of this biblical name, while Joel is the standard English form.

Usage of the name varies by language and tradition. It is used among Jewish communities and in Israel as Yoel or Yo'el, while in many English-speaking contexts the form Joel is more common. Variants appear in different languages, and the form Yoël is encountered in some French-language publications and communities.
