Raphael Family History
Raphael Name Meaning
Jewish, French, English, and German: from the Hebrew personal name
Refael composed of the elements rafa ‘to heal’ +
el ‘God’. This is the name of one of the archangels, but for
some reason it was less popular among Christians in the Middle Ages,
except perhaps in Italy, than those of the archangels Michael and
Gabriel. HH, HB, AB.
