Ixel is of Latin origin and means "moon". It is a unisex name, though it's often used for girls. The name has gained popularity in recent years, perhaps due to its unique sound and meaning. It is pronounced /ɪkˈsɛl/.
Ixel experienced a notable rise in popularity between the years of 1994 to 2007, with peaks in 1994 and 2007. After a slight decline from 2009 onwards, it has maintained a steady presence since then, as reflected by the total births of 86 over this span.
