Pele is also used as a masculine name in Polynesian languages such as Hawaiian. However, Pele is more common for females. So, I tink that the "Gender" of this name should be changed from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine".Sources: https://www.names.org/n/pele/about

Pele the famous Brazilian soccer player got his name when his team mates called him "PEG LEG" He had such a powerful kick that when he took a shot on goal it was unstoppable. People called him "PEG LEG" and team mates would yell PEG LEG on the field...Fans heard "Pele" and that stuck as his name! And the rest is history.
The banner is so pretty, lol. Anyways, I think this is a nice name.
The pronunciation of Pele is actually not pronounced like PAY-lay or Pe-LAY or anything other than what follows. The name Pele is pronounced PEH-leh like pet without the t and let without the t. Emphasis is on the sound Pe, not le. [noted -ed]
Pele is a very wonderful name and was created by a nice person and it has its own inner beauty that other people don't understand and it is not 'Peel' it is 'Pele' (PEL- LAY)
My name is Pele and it means different things everywhere you go and the pronunciation is almost always wrong unless your name is Pele or you know someone named Pele and they will often tell you. In Samoan it means Princess as it does in Tongan (my culture) the correct pronunciation is Peh-Leh (PEH like Pet without the 'T' and LEH like let without the 'T') and it's usually mispronounced. Most people with European backgrounds pronounce it PAY-Lay or PE-Lay or Pell-Ay, and most with a Pacific island background pronounce it right all the time. No hate, but it's generally just the way English language is - most words sound the way it's spelt, whereas in my culture vowels are spoken differently and aren't as obvious. I used to hate my name because no one could pronounce it right and whenever the teacher turned their head to the side it was always at my name but I've honestly grown to like how unique it is and how much honour I have with it (My great grandmothers name). I have so many nicknames and pronunciation doesn't bug me as much, but it seems nowadays people are more interested in asking me how to pronounce it properly which is much better than when I was a kid and everyone just called me Pell-ay or pay-lay and didn't even try to correct themselves (which is also why I hated my name) but yeah, in Brazil it could be pronounced Pell-ay or Pay-Lay but I guess it's how you pronounce vowels that make the difference.
Pele means skin in Portuguese.
You could also use this as a male name in honour of Brazilian football Pelé. His nickname is pronounced pe-LAY but English-speakers often say it PELL_ay, and it has no meaning in Brazilian Portuguese. In his autobiography he says that he has no idea how he got the nickname and neither do any of his friends.
This name is ugly. It sounds like "peel", which will lead to teasing. It is also too heavily associated with the soccer player and the volcano in Martinique.
This name doesn't sound like "peel" at all. It's pronounced PAY-lay, long "a" sounds.
I think it's a very beautiful name. My godfather is Hawaiian, so I'm familiar with some Hawaiian names (like Leilani and Kalella, the latter not on this site as far as I know). This happens to be my favorite Hawaiian name.
Was also the Goddess of destruction and creativity.
