In the world, Яэль (Yael
, Yahel
, Яэль
) is a common principally female, but very infrequently boy's given name. The first name Яэль is characteristic of 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 male, but seldom female name. Measured by absolute frequency, this name is the most popular in Israel, Mexico, and the United States. Very seldom, Яэль is the last name as well as the forename.
Яэль is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Yael , the woman in the Book of Judges; killed Sisera to deliver Israel from the troops of King Jabin.
