Axle is Scandinavian in Origin.
Axle is a modern English respelling of Axel, the Scandinavian form of the biblical name Absalom (Hebrew Avshalom), meaning "father of peace." In Denmark and Sweden, Axel took shape via the medieval Latin Absalon; any resemblance to the English noun axle (wheel-shaft) is coincidental. Some sources also note occasional confusion with Old Norse Asketill ("god's cauldron"), though this is a separate lineage.
Usage of Axle as a given name has emerged in the 21st century, especially in North America, riding the popularity of Axel and the streamlined rock-influenced Axl (familiar from frontman Axl Rose). Traditional forms remain strongest in Scandinavia and German- and French-speaking countries. Variants and related names include Axel, Aksel, Axl, Axell, and the feminine Axelle; further back are Absalom and Avshalom. Nicknames such as Ax are occasionally used.
