Meaning and etymology of the name Jaasiel




Jaasiel Jaasiel


There are two men named Jaasiel in the Bible. One is mentioned among David's mighty men: Jaasiel the Mezobaite (1 Chronicles 11:47). The other Jaasiel is a son of Abner and ruler of the tribe of Benjamin (1 Chronicles 27:21).

The name Jaasiel consists of two parts:

1) The first part comes from the verb asa (asa), meaning to do, fashion or accomplish. Apart from conveying the meanings contained in our English verb "to do", this wonderful verb works like a virtual engine in a wide range of expressions: do mightily, do efficiently, do a work, exercise power or sovereignty, do evil, do kindness, to deal with, etcetera. The verb is also used to mean to make or fashion, to bring about something, to destroy something, to produce something, to prepare, to attend, to observe or celebrate, to acquire, to appoint, ordain or institute, to use or to spend. Its only derivation is the masculine noun ma'aseh (ma'aseh), meaning a deed or work, with again as many colors and hues as the parent verb.

2) The name Jaasiel ends with el (El), the common abbreviation of Elohim.

For a meaning of the name Jaasiel, NOBS Study Bible Name List reads God Makes. Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names suggests Made Of God.

Related names are Baaseiah, Asahel, Asaiah, Asiel, Eleasah, Esau, and Jaasu.
