Congratulations! You've hit the nail on the head with this fetching masculine name of German origin. Naegel began as a surname, common in both Germany and the Netherlands, but it has shifted to become a first name in modern times. Naegel means "nail," but a secondary meaning of the name may come from Ireland. On the Emerald Isle, the name Nagle means "son of the soldier" and is likely a variant of Nagel. Combining the two can only inspire baby Naegal to be strong in body and mind, determined, and brave.
