Meaning: Father of peace; My father is peace

Aksel is a boy's name of Danish and Hebrew origins. Despite sounding tough due to its prefix that sounds like axe, this title has a harmonious meaning: "father of peace" or “my father is peace.” These reminders that peace is all around may bode well for baby as they make their way through life with ease and compassion. Axl Rose of the legendary rock band Guns N' Roses shares a similar name to Aksel, so if you want to encourage baby to channel their inner rocker, this name could be music to your ears!
