Raqueal is a unique, modern feminine given name of American origin. Its creation is attributed to author and playwright Tennessee Williams, who named his sister's character Raquel in his play 'The Rose Tattoo'. The name has since gained popularity as Raqueal, with many embracing its distinctive sound and spelling.
The name Raqueal experienced a notable peak in popularity between 1987 and 1989, with 11 births in 1987 and 8 in 1988.
