Comments for the name Ciel

Comments for CIEL:

Along with sky, it also means "heaven" in French. And like all French words, the accent is on the last syllable.

If it's pronounced like the French word, it would be "See-ELLE."

Very pretty, I can't use it as I already have a daughter named Skye.

Consider the many derivatives of the French word for "rainbow": Arc-en-Ciel (literally: "arc in the sky"). Arken is a pretty name. Also, a phonetic spelling of Ciel, like, Sielle, which anglophones will relate to a name like "Sierra" in their attempts to pronounce it, might be doing any child you give this name to a big favor!

Beautiful name. Looks somewhat masculine to me, and maybe spelling it Cielle would make it easier for anglophones to pronounce. But, I dislike changing the spelling of names.

Ciel is the protagonist of the manga Kuroshitsuji, but it's a BOY.

There is a boy called Ciel Phantomhive in the manga/anime called Kuroshitsuji (黒執事 meaning "black butler"). He is the young head of the Phantomhive family and serves the queen with a demon butler (whom he has promised his soul) by his side.

It's not a given name, and it looks like the word "seal".

Like Soleil (also listed here as feminine), Ciel is a masculine noun in French. However, I think Ciel would be very weird on a male (although I prefer Sky on males... hmmm...). On a girl it's nice enough, but I would only use it as a middle name.

Personally I think Ceil is better for a boy. I didn't even think it was for girls. In any case I think it should be unisex.

This is a MALE word (le Ciel) and not used as a name in France at all.

The word is also associated to a color, sky blue, I think. It's beautiful either way.
