Rachel is from the Hebrew Rachel ("ewe"). Died giving birth to Benjamin on the road to Bethlehem; her tomb (Kever Rachel) remains a major Jewish pilgrimage site.
Rachel does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Rachel reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
