Question 2

What does the name Axel mean?

Accepted Answer

Axel is a name of Scandinavian origin: the medieval Danish form of Absalom, Hebrew for "my father is peace"; centuries of steady Scandinavian use, then an American second life with a rock-and-roll edge, and the spelling needs no two dots over a vowel. Sharp sound, gentle meaning. See the full Axel page for its popularity history.
