Re: Meaning of my name
Looks like a contraction of JACK and AXEL.
But this is just guessing.

Hey and could someone else have an idea of my uncle's name, his name is Daxel. And thanks for the replies.

A "Dachs" (pronunciation like "dax") in German is a "badger" (like in "dachshund"). The change from "chs" to "x" shouldn't be irritating. Now in German "dachshund" is "Dackel".
I'm not sure whether your uncle is gonna like this ;—)Andy
