Makel
Meaning of Makel
Makel feels like a fresh, unisex twist on the classic Michael—“who is like God”—with a distinctly Anglo-American flair. Pronounced muh-KELL, it rolls off the tongue with gentle confidence, as if ushering in a tiny champion ready to make a mark. Though still delightfully uncommon—just 11 babies were named Makel in 2024, landing it at number 913 in the U.S.—it’s quietly cruising the 800s and 900s on popularity lists, hinting at growing appeal. Parents of boys and girls alike love its melodic simplicity, its approachable warmth, and the sense that this name is brimming with untold adventures, just waiting for a new story to begin. It’s the kind of name that plays well on the playground and holds its own in any boardroom.
