Around the globe, Risel (Risel 
) is a rare gender-neutral given name. The forename Risel is characteristic of Bolivia, where it is a rare female name, Philippines, where it is a rare primarily feminine, but very seldom masculine name, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in Philippines, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Indonesia. Much less frequently, Risel is the last name as well as the forename.
