Maël

Origine et signification de Maël

Maël comes from the Breton and ancient Celtic mael, 'prince, chief,' with a sense of command and nobility. It is tied to several saints of ancient Brittany and keeps a strong link to Celtic culture. Very popular in France, especially in the Breton regions, where it has surged in recent years, it has a short, distinctive sound, the diaeresis underlining its accent and singular character.
