Raychel

Meaning of Raychel

The name Raychel is a unique and modern variation of the classic name Rachel. Pronounced as RAY-chuhl (/ˈreɪtʃəl/), it retains the timeless charm and biblical roots associated with its more traditional counterpart. Originating from Hebrew, Raychel means "ewe" or "female sheep," symbolizing gentleness and purity. Over the years, this name has seen fluctuating popularity in the United States, peaking notably in the late 1980s and early 1990s but maintaining a presence through recent decades. While not as common as Rachel, Raychel offers a distinctive twist for parents seeking a familiar yet uniquely spelled name for their daughters.
