Chaskel (pronounced HASK-ul) is a warm, spirited choice for a baby boy that carries centuries of hope in its syllables. Rooted in Yiddish and tracing back to the Hebrew name Yechezkel—better known in English as Ezekiel—Chaskel literally means “God will strengthen,” a promise of resilience and inner power. Though it’s never climbed into the top tiers of the charts (you’ll find it dancing around the 900s in recent U.S. rankings), that rarity only adds to its charm—like discovering a hidden gem in a familiar world. With each cheerful “Chaskel!” you’re not just calling a name; you’re calling forth a story of faith, courage, and the kind of quiet heroism that inspires everyone around him.
