[Facts] Yaeli

I was wondering about the origin of the name Yaeli. It was the name of a character in the Israeli film "Waltz with Bashir". I noticed that it's not in the database, and I was wondering if anyone knows its origin - is it a variant of Yael, a nickname for Yael or something else?Also, why does Yael have popularity data for males in the United States and France? Does the male Yael have a different origin from the female Hebrew Yael?

As for France: Yael could be a Breton male name or nickname. It seems that Breton names are quite common in France at the moment.

Yaeli is definitely a nickname for Yael, fairly common among Hebrews-speaking/Jewish communities.I've only ever known Yael to be a feminine name; i know men named Yale, but that's not the same name at all as far as i know.
