Carmel

As of January this year, 37 women in Poland are named Carmel. 12 others have it as their middle.

In modern day Israel, as a first name, it's unisex, with the form Carmella being the exclusively feminine name. [noted -ed]

Last year (2022) there were 32 women in Poland with the first name Carmel.

Multiple sources define the given name Carmel as (possibly?) gender-neutral. For more information, see the comments below by @Teddy01 and @LionB3. The Hebrew unisex form of this name is Karmel.

The name Carmel has been (albeit rarely) used in Poland. Poland, despite being Catholic, doesn't really have its own equivalent of Carmel/Carmen, and it's not a traditional name (unless you consider Karmela or Karmena to be a Polish equivalent but it's very rare), and Carmel and Carmen are considered not in line with Polish phonetical rules. As of January 2020, there have been 24 women named Carmel in the whole Polish population. Other related names that are used include: Karmen (259 bearers), Karmela (58), Karmena (46), Karmina (35), Karmelita (21), Karmelia (10), Karmelina (5) and Carmen (914), Carmela (41), Maria Del Carmen (27), Carmella (6), Carmena (6), Carmina (5), Carmelina (3), Carmen-Elena (2) and Carmine (2). Carmel sounds exactly the same as Polish word for caramel (karmel). A Carmel could celebrate her name day on the feast day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (16 July). Possible nicknames include: Karmelka, Karmisia, Karmelek, Karmunia, Karma, Karminka, Kara, Kari, Mela, Melka, Melcia, Melunia, Melusia, Mila etc.

In 2018, 48 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Carmel who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 3, 116th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.

The original use of 'Carmel' is actually for boys. Even though now it is most associated with women (like the names Avery and Taylor etc.) this is very much a male name.

Saying it's a biblical name isn't accurate, as it wasn't used by any character in the bible. Instead in should be categorized as Jewish.
