Engel

Meaning of Engel

Engel bursts onto the scene with the cheerful bounce of EN-guhl, a Germanic treasure that literally means “angel,” whispering tales of guardian spirits while waltzing through Mumbai’s rain-washed streets like a celestial guest at a Diwali celebration. It feels as sweet as jasmine-drizzled monsoon clouds and as spirited as a tabla solo—perfect for little boys destined to spread kindness with the ease of a feather on the breeze. Though it remains a rare cosmic wink in the United States—only five to seven newborns earn this name each year, hovering around the 900s in popularity—its melodic charm and cross-cultural flair make Engel an irresistible pick for parents craving that blend of European myth and Indian vibrancy. Pronounced EN-guhl in English and ENG-əl in German, Engel carries a promise of lightness, a playful nod to ancient lore, and an open invitation to soar.
