Wise protector or council protector
Raymel is likely a modern elaboration of the name Raymond, combining the Germanic elements 'ragin' (counsel) and 'mund' (protection). It may also be influenced by the Hebrew name element 'El', meaning God, or as a rhythmic variation of names like Jamal or Carmel. It is particularly popular in Spanish-speaking Caribbean communities.
