where does the name Azriel come from?

the history of Azriel
The source is only a bare notable-people list beyond the gloss; it does not mention a biblical leader of the tribe of Naphtali, the medieval Kabbalist Azriel of Gerona, or any use in fantasy literature, so none of that is confirmed by anything retrieved in this batch.
