Racel

Racel is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Rachel, which derives from Hebrew meaning 'ewe' or 'female sheep.' While Rachel is traditionally feminine in most cultures, this particular spelling variant Racel might represent a masculine adaptation or a cultural variation. In some Spanish-speaking regions, similar spellings exist as surnames or rare given names. The name is extremely uncommon as a masculine given name in English-speaking countries and doesn't appear in most popularity rankings. The alteration of the spelling from 'Rachel' to 'Racel' changes the pronunciation slightly, potentially giving it a distinct identity. Parents might choose this name for its biblical connections while seeking a unique spelling variation.

Racel is also given to girls.

Pronounced RAY-sul.
