Racheal Origin and Meaning

The name Racheal is a girl's name.

Racheal is an alternative spelling of Rachel, a feminine name with Hebrew origins meaning "ewe" or "female sheep." This variation maintains the biblical connection to Rachel in the Old Testament, who was the beloved wife of Jacob and mother of Joseph and Benjamin. The spelling with "ea" instead of "ae" emerged as a modern variant, giving the traditional name a slightly different visual presentation while maintaining its pronunciation. Racheal has never been as common as the standard Rachel, which enjoyed tremendous popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. Those named Racheal might appreciate having a recognizable name with a unique spelling. The name carries connotations of beauty and gentleness from its biblical roots while still feeling contemporary and accessible.
