Meaning & Origin
nail (of a finger or toe)
Nael is a boy's and girl's baby name of Arabic origin, from the Arabic nail meaning "achiever," "one who attains," or "successful," from the root nala (to achieve, to obtain). It is a name of achievement and fulfillment.
Nael carries the aspirational Arabic meaning of success and accomplishment in a compact, four-letter form. It has grown in the United States within Arab-American and Muslim communities as a name that expresses the deepest parental wish — that a child will achieve and attain great things.
