The first name 
Makel

Makel is a male first name. In some cases it's also given to girls.

Makel – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Makel in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Makel in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Makel by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Makel ranks at #4,375. That means there are 4,374 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Makel.
