Jonael

This is another example of a name propelled into usage by a celebrity. Prior to 2015, Jonael had only been given to more than 4 boys in a given year once; that year was 2004, when 6 boys in the US received the name. However, in 2015, Jonael Santiago won La Voz Kids, Telemundo's Spanish children's version of popular reality competition show The Voice. As a result, this name immediately entered the US Top 1000 at Number 919. We'll see if it continues to rise, or if this is just its fifteen minutes of fame.

Jonael Schickler was a Swiss philosopher.

Pronounced jo-nah-EL.

As of October 2026, Jonael ranked #6987 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #923 in 2015.
