It is used as a male name in Israel (m)

I know a couple of boys named Carmel. It's considered unisex over here, and completely a place name (and perhaps has a bit of a religious connotation, but nothing to do with Christianity - that's probably the reason it's completely feminine in English-speaking countries).

Would then Carmen be also used on males? Beause in the X-Men series, Jewish character Kitty Pryde`s father is named Carmen.

The use as given name of Carmel among the Jews, predates the 12th c. or it is a modern Israeli fact?
