Rhael

Rhael is a personal name that is used as a given name and, less commonly, as a surname. It is a variant spelling linked to Raphael, a name of Hebrew origin that traditionally means “God heals.” The form Rhael is relatively rare in everyday use and is more often encountered as a stylistic variant or in fictional settings.

Etymology and usage: Rhael derives from Hebrew Refa’el; through Greek and Latin adaptations, the name appears in many languages as Raphael, Raphaël, or Rafael. Rhael represents a nonstandard spelling that may reflect transliteration choices or personal preference. In real-world records, it is used primarily as a male given name and is occasionally found as a surname, though it remains uncommon.

Cultural presence: There are no widely known public figures with this exact spelling. In literature, film, and games, Rhael is sometimes chosen by authors as a distinctive given name for male characters, contributing to its recognition in creative contexts.
