Uriel; a Levite name meaning 'flame of God' or 'my light is God'
A masculine proper name composed of 'ur' (light, flame) and 'el' (God), meaning 'flame of God' or 'my light is God.' Uriel appears as the chief of the Kohathite Levites in David's time, involved in bringing the ark to Jerusalem (1 Chr 6:24; 15:5, 11). He also appears as the maternal grandfather of King Abijah of Judah (2 Chr 13:2). The theophoric name beautifully expresses dependence on God as one's guiding light.

1. sense 1 — Uriel — a theophoric personal name meaning 'flame of God' or 'God is my light.' English and Spanish consistently transliterate 'Uriel'; French and German preserve the Hebrew form. The Kohathite Uriel (1 Chr 6:24; 15:5, 11) was entrusted with the sacred duty of transporting the ark, while the Uriel of 2 Chronicles 13:2 connects the Davidic royal house to the Levitical line through marriage, showing how this name carried priestly and noble associations. 4×
