Across the world, Yael (Yael , יעל , Яел ) is a common principally feminine, but very infrequently masculine first name. The forename Yael is habitual in Israel, where it is a common feminine name, U.S. Virgin Islands, where it is quite a common feminine name, and the Dominican Republic, where it is quite a rare largely masculine, but seldom girly name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Israel, Mexico, and the United States. Very seldom, Yael is the last name as well as the forename.
