Shael, pronounced /ʃeɪl/, is of Hebrew origin and means 'ask for'. It's a unisex name, though it's more commonly used as a male name. Shael consists of three letters in the Hebrew alphabet: Shin (ש), Aleph (א), and Lamed (ל). The name was popularized by the fictional character Shael Eirnyen from Anne McCaffrey's 'Pern' series.
"Shael has seen a steady rise and fall in popularity over the years, with a total of 31 babies named Shael born between 2009 and 2023."
