[Intro]
(Female Host) Axel isn't just a car part somewhere near the wheels,
it can also be a rockin' first name.
(Male Host) Like Axl Rose!
(Female Host) Exactly. But did you know that Axel also means
"father of peace"?
(Male Host) In what language?
(Female Host) Axel is both Danish and Norwegian.
(Male Host) Really?
(Femae Host) Yep, but they borrowed it from the Hebrew name Avshalom,
a son of King David who, according to the Bible, led a violent revolt
against his father.
(Male Host) Yikes.
(Female Host) I know! So although it has a peaceful meaning,
there's a litte edge to it as well. Click here for more Top 50 baby names,
