Across the world, Akeel (عقيل , Akeel , أحناش ) is a widespread masculine first name. The forename Akeel is characteristic of Western Asia, particularly Iraq, where it is a common male name, Saudi Arabia, where it is quite a common male name, and Syria, where it is quite a common principally masculine, but scarcely girly name. In absolute terms, it most frequently occurs in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and India. Much less frequently, Akeel is the last name as well as the forename.
