In the entire world, Wessels (Wessels 
, Весселс 
) is a rare principally male, but scarcely feminine given name. The first name Wessels is habitual in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly South Africa, where it is a rare boy's name. Much more prevalently, Wessels is the last name as well as the forename.
