Shakel — boys' name

What the Data Says About Shakel

The Social Security Administration has registered 28 babies named Shakel between 1993 and 2001, spanning 9 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Shakel currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2001. The name reached its historical peak in 1994, when 9 babies received it in a single year. Shakel is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 16 additional births since 1993.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Shakel performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 23 births during that ten-year window. Across the 2 decades of recorded activity, Shakel shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Shakel in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 28 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
