What does the name Kael mean?

Answer 1

Kael is a modern spelling of the Gaelic name "Cael." While the version with a "K" is a modern spelling, it shares the same meaning as the original Gaelic name, which is believed to mean "svelte."

Answer 2

Kaelin, or spelled Kälin in Switzerland, is usually pronounced Kah-lee by most Swiss-German speakers. It comes from the word Kehl, which means throat in German, and the Swiss diminutive form is Kehli. The piece of iron that hangs under the neck of a yoke for oxen is called a Kehli. The yoke is commonly seen in the coat-of-arms for the name Kaelin, going back the 1600's. The name comes from the town of Einsiedeln, in canton Schwyz, and about a quarter of the people there are named Kaelin. For some reason, "Kehl" isn't in most German dictionaries. However, I do find lots of animal and bird names, like "Weisskehl-Gecko = White-Throated Gecko" and "Weisskehl-Elsterhäher = White-throated-Magpie-Jay"... I suspect it's either a Swiss or southern Germany dialect word, and may only apply to animals. I've lived in Switzerland, but am not a native speaker. In the USA, there are three big populations of Kaelins - Louisville, KY, Seattle, WA (and nearby Vancouver), and Philadelphia, PA. Mike Kaelin, Lyndeborough, New Hampshire.
