Idel is a name of Hebrew origin, derived from the word 'yid' which means 'to know' or 'to understand'. It is often used as a male given name and can also be found as a surname. The name Idel is not particularly common in English-speaking countries but has been used occasionally throughout history. It may hold significance for families with Jewish heritage, as it reflects the value of knowledge and understanding.
The name Idel was given to six newborns in 2008, making it a unique choice that year with no other reported births of that name since then.
