Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: Joy of the father, father of exaltation

If baby is your pride and joy, consider the name Gayel. This happy-go-lucky feminine name has Hebrew origins, and means “father of exaltation” or “joy of the father.” The name is a respelling of Gail, which in turn derives from Abigail. This particular version is a little bit of a hidden gem, but that doesn’t mean it won’t bring baby—and you—a whole lot of joy, nonetheless.
