Meaning: Palm tree

It's not very often that the idea of a "palm tree" immediately conjures up images of Israel, but that is just what baby Dekel has done. A name with Hebrew origins, Dekel is also the name of a moshav, which is a cooperative village in Southern Israel. Your little one won't need to travel far, as palm trees have been known to grow in Israel since biblical times. Over 30 varieties exist, bringing exotic beauty and color into the lives of everyone who witnesses them, just as baby Dekel will.
