Raffel Vad efternamn betyder
German: nickname for someone who was loud or indiscreet a blabber from Middle High German raffeln ‘to be noisy to scold’. German: from an unexplained personal name Raffo. Compare Raff. English: variant of Rayfield. English: perhaps from a Middle English Raf(f)el possibly a pet form of Rafe (Ralph) but as yet there is no medieval evidence for this. Some post-medieval spellings have been influenced by the name of the archangel Raphael and others by placenames in -field though derivation from Raphael (the name of the archangel) is improbable as it seems to have been used in England only after the Reformation. This surname is now rare in Britain. Scottish: variant of Revels.
