Raciel is of Hebrew origin, meaning 'Little lamb of God'. It's a unique and distinctive name, offering a blend of strength and gentleness suggested by its meaning. The name Raciel consists of two elements: 'Rachi', meaning 'to soften' or 'to gentle', and 'El', which refers to God. This gives the name an appealing, almost contradictory, mix of power and tenderness.
Raciel saw its peak popularity between 1983 and 2004, with a consistent number of births each year, but it has seen a decline since then, hovering around 5 births annually from 2006 onwards.
