Meaning & History
Rare Dutch given name, which is probably derived from (or related to) the Dutch word bikkel, which is an informal (or slang) word for a tough, no-nonsense man. In that regard, the name is somewhat comparable with English masculine names such as Brick and Rock, as those are also meant to convey a certain sense of rugged masculinity. Also compare the Dutch given name Bink.A known Dutch bearer of this name is the aspiring actor Bickel Krabbé (b. 2000), the eldest son of the Dutch radio and television presenter Martijn Krabbé (b. 1968) and his ex-wife Amanda Beekman. Martijn is a son of the Dutch actor Jeroen Krabbé (b. 1944), so Bickel comes from a well-established Dutch show business family.
