Slender or narrow; variant of Michael
Khael is primarily used as a modern creative variant of the Hebrew name Michael, meaning 'who is like God?'. It is also occasionally linked to the Arabic root 'Khalil' or the Gaelic 'Cael', which refers to slenderness. In contemporary usage, it is often chosen for its sleek, phonetic appeal and its similarity to popular names like Caleb or Kai.
