This was my fiancee's name. She passed away a few month ago. It is such a unique name. I would like to find the origins of the name and something about its history. I know her family was of Irish ancestry, and came to America sometime in the mid 1800's.
What are the origins and meaning of the name "Arafel"? I believe it may be Irish or Celtic?
Beautiful name. Hebrew meaning cloud darkness. Sorry about your fiancee. There was only 1 Arafel in U.S. public records.
Reply:you have some arabian ancestry...and the other side came from ireland
Reply:arafel is fog in hebrew
Reply:anything ending in El or AEL is originally hebrew, or from that region, it means "of god". There was an early Hebrew / Ireland connection so it may have been passed from one region to another. I'm not sure off the top of my head what the first part "araf" means.
Reply:its not celtic by the way celtic and irish are one and the same
