3 unusual facts about Lord Asriel


Lord Asriel

The name Asriel could be derived from the Hebraic name Asriel/Azrael, who, in the Jewish and Muslim tradition is the family of Asriel and is mentioned in the counting of the tribes.

Her name is possibly a variant of Stella Maria, a pseudo-Latin phrase that approximates "star of the sea" (see also Stella Maris).

Daniel Craig plays the role of Lord Asriel in the 2007 film adaptation The Golden Compass with Nicole Kidman joining him as Coulter.
