Jaels

Jaels is a name that appears primarily as a feminine given name and, less commonly, as a surname. It is a transliteration variant of the Hebrew name Yael (Ya'el), which appears in Jewish and Christian scriptures. The Hebrew Yael is commonly associated with the image of a wild mountain goat or ibex, and the name is traditionally interpreted as a symbol of strength and independence. In English-language texts and in some European countries, Yael has been rendered as Jael, Jaels, or Yaél.

In contemporary usage, Jaels is most often found as a female given name in Hebrew-speaking communities and in the wider Christian world, where biblical names are popular. The form Jaels may occur in Dutch- or Flemish-speaking areas as a surname or as an alternate spelling of the given name. As a surname, Jaels is rare and typically encountered in multilingual contexts where given names are used as family names.

Notable people: The name is borne by various contemporary figures in arts, sports, science, and public life, but there is no single widely recognized figure associated with the term Jaels. The plural form Jaels is used in biographical lists to refer to multiple individuals named Jael.
