My name is Rahel, but without the accent, and it is Welsh for Rachel. The way I pronounce it is "rile".
Rahel is also the German way of saying Rachel. It's pronounced RA-hel.
I am Rahel in my German birth certificate from 1936, when all German Jews got named Sarah (or Jacob) if they didn't already have a Jewish name. My parents were German, not Hungarian. (Now I spell it Rachel like most people do). Rahel Levin of Berlin around 1800 is mentioned in "The Pity of it All" by Amos Eilon.
Rahel (without accent, pronounced rah-khel) is the original Hebrew form of Rachel.
