Father of peace
Axzel is a modern phonetic variant of the Scandinavian name Axel, which itself is the Danish and Swedish form of the Hebrew name Absalom. It is etymologically derived from 'Ab' meaning father and 'Shalom' meaning peace. This specific spelling is a contemporary American innovation, likely influenced by the popularity of the letter 'z' in modern naming trends.
