Meaning: A creative spelling of Axel, often used without a widely recognized meaning.

Axsel is a less common name with Germanic roots, possibly derived from the Old Norse name Áskell, meaning "divine strength" or "god's strength."

However, it remains a unique and distinctive choice for parents looking to give their child a strong, Scandinavian-inspired name.
