Pronounced ENG-el.
Very rare name in Germany. In fact, I have never met a person named Engel but it could be used as a short form of 'Engelbert'.

I quite like the name and its spelling. It's apparently quite unique in Germany, and it's and people looking at it will likely almost immediately associate it as being masculine. A very nice alternative to its more feminine-seeming counterpart, Angel.

There is a song called Engel by Rammstein.

I've never met anyone named Engel here. For me, it would be weird to name my son this, living in Germany. But it is a cute nickname for your son, of course(:

Come on, this means 'angel' in Norwegian too. Therefore it should be added.

My last name-yes, last name- is Engel. I get comments on it all the time from the exchange students asking me if I know what it means. And I do. My Grandfathers family came straight from Germany with the last name, and most of my family has it on my dad's side. Not to mention relatives we don't even know about!
