An uncommon Hebrew pick — distinctive and rare.
Racheal is a girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, a variant spelling of Rachel, from the Hebrew Rāḥēl, meaning 'ewe' — the female sheep, a symbol of gentleness and innocence in pastoral biblical culture. Rachel is the beloved wife of Jacob in the Book of Genesis.
Racheal emerged as an alternate spelling in the 1970s and 80s. Like Rachel, it carries a soft, timeless beauty rooted in one of the Bible's most enduring love stories.
Racheal has 113+ years of history in the U.S., first appearing in 1910.
