Richel is a unique and distinctive given name of unknown origin, often associated with French influences due to its prevalence in French-speaking regions. It is composed of six letters: R-i-c-h-e-l, with the stress typically falling on the second syllable, pronounced as /ˈriːʃəl/. This name has gained some recognition globally but remains relatively uncommon compared to more traditional names, contributing to its unique charm and appeal.
Richel experienced a peak in popularity during the late 60s to early 70s with 7 or more births annually between 1966 and 1979. However, it appears to have declined since then, with only one year (1991) showing an increase above this range until 2000.
