Its because a lot of those names are biblical names. El means God. So a lot of angels have names ending in -el. Gabriel, Michael, Azazel. But a lot of "normal" names also invoke God. Bezalel is from that same traditon, same for names like Daniel and Samuel.

An equivalent is how many muslim/arab/arabised names include pre and suffixes invoking God or the names and attributes of God. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Arabic_theophoric_names

i think it's the z's for me though, like Samuel doesn't sound demon-coded

Does Zachary read demonic? What about Zsa Zsa?

bezalel specifically sounds close to both Beelzebub and Azazel so I get you.
