History & Origin

Rahzel has no clear inherited meaning and functions as a modern American coinage. Its handful of United States birth records cluster tightly around the turn of the millennium, when the beatboxer was at his most visible.

It was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year at its brief high in the late nineteen-nineties. As a first name it rides almost entirely on that one cultural association.
