Lachel is an uncommon, unique feminine given name of Latin origin. It is derived from the Latin word 'laqueus', which means 'noose' or 'snare'. While its literal translation may seem unappealing, the name Lachel carries a rich historical context and can be interpreted as symbolic of entrapment or capture, perhaps in reference to being caught up in love's enchanting spell. The name is associated with Latin culture and has been used sparingly throughout history, making it distinctive and memorable.
The name Lachel appears to have been quite popular during the late 20th century, with a total of ten girls being named Lachel over a span of twenty-three years. This popularity seems to have peaked in 1966 and again in 1989, each year seeing five babies named Lachel.
