What is the meaning of the name Rachele ?

The baby name Rachele is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced rah-KEH-leh.

Rachele is Hebrew in Origin.

Rachele is the Italian form of Rachel, ultimately from the Hebrew Raḥel, “ewe” or “lamb,” an emblem of gentleness and fertility. Anchored in the Book of Genesis, where Rachel is Jacob’s beloved wife and the mother of Joseph and Benjamin, the name spread throughout Jewish and Christian Europe. In Italy, Rachele appears in medieval records within Jewish communities and later entered broader use; the standard Italian pronunciation is ra-KEH-leh.

Related forms include Rachel (English, French), Rachael (alternative English), Raquel (Spanish and Portuguese), Rahel (German and Hebrew transliteration), Rakel (Scandinavian), Rachela (Polish and Yiddish), and Rahela (Romanian, Croatian, and Bosnian). The name saw heightened visibility in twentieth‑century Italy through Rachele Guidi (Mussolini’s wife) and today reads classic yet distinctive. While Rachel surged in the Anglosphere in the late twentieth century, Rachele remains a culturally marked Italian variant favored by families with Italian ties.
