Re: Meaning of the name Rael
in reply to a message by guest
Perhaps you could give us the reference you used to find this meaning? It would be interesting.Unfortunately, it isn't accurate. Rael is a dialectal contraction of the Scandinavian name Ragnvald, used in Old Swedish. It is not Hebrew. Ragn means Advise and Vald means Power, so it could mean "military adviser", or it could just be a merger of the two separate names, Ragn and Vald.Apparently it is used as a female name in Finland, again as a contracted form, this time of the authentically biblical Rachel.

Chariot= Ca Ri Ot. Carry Old (the beginnings of words!)
If you look at people in Ireland, and their beginnings, like the Hill of Tara (possibly torah) it’s like 6,000 or so years old. A holy place where cings (kings) were married (coven) to their land in a ceremony. They have people that sound like the Scandinavian legends. The worshippers of Ing, might have originated there. The Ri-ngs (Ragnard) Ard Ri aka “Ireland”. Vikings. ings, with a V or K, even though it looks like it took a very time for Ard Ri aka “Ireland” to incorporate the letter k. I wonder how they got around so many places! Look up the Ri (Ray) (Rey) some of it is being censored. Idk why. Seems Ireland is very private. Did you know the Incas in South America, were the worshippers of Ing? The name England comes from Ing. Ingles in Spanish means “English”. We’re all connected. There are caves in Ireland time stamped at 350 million years old. They might be a part of humans journey of survival.

Ragn does not mean advise. It is from a root meaning "rule, power", distantly related to Latin Reg-, Rex. It is used to refer to the gods as "powers", but also to human power and authority.

Since 1899, name Rael has been given to less than 25 girls and less than 25 boys in Finland. So I wouldn't categorize it as a Finnish feminine name. Not sure if it has anything to do with Rakel (all I could quickly find was Nordic names saying Rael is derived from Rakel, but I've found that site untrustworthy).
