Jael is a Hebrew name that means "ibex" or "mountain goat". In the Book of Judges, Jael is the woman who kills the enemy general Sisera, but in Spanish-speaking countries the name, pronounced ha-EL, is given mainly to boys, and that is how it reaches the US charts. Jael entered the boys' top 1000 in 2012 at number 987, has stayed just below it since and ranks number 1317 in 2025.
