Meanings

A male given name: from a Hebrew word meaning “the Lord is God.”.

Joel is a male given name derived from יוֹאֵל Standard Hebrew, Yoʾel, Tiberian Hebrew, or Yôʾēl meaning "Yahu is god", "YHWH is God", or the modern translation "Yahweh Is God". Joel as a given name appears in the Hebrew Bible.

Masc. proper name, from Hebrew Yoh'el, name of a minor Old Testament prophet, literally "the Lord is God;" the same name as Elijah (q.v.) but with the elements reversed. The personal name that became common in Devon and Cornwall and the Breton districts of Yorkshire and the Eastern Counties immediately after the Conquest is from Old Breton Iudhael, from Iud- "chief, lord" + hael "generous." It is the source of the modern British surname Joel, as well as Jewell, Joule, and Jolson.

Yahweh is God, the Lord is God.
