      The name Kalel is indeed an invented name that originates from American culture. While it does not have deep historical roots, its modern-day usage can be attributed to the influence of fiction, particularly the superhero character Superman. Created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster in 1938, Superman is an iconic character in comic books and subsequently various adaptations like movies and television shows.

      The name Kalel gained popularity as a result of its association with Superman's birth name, Kal-El. In the fictional story, Kal-El was born on the planet Krypton and sent to Earth by his parents just before their planet's destruction. Raised as a human named Clark Kent, he discovers his extraordinary powers and uses them to protect humanity as Superman. This character's strong connection with goodness, justice, and heroism has led to the adoption of the name Kalel by some parents who seek to bestow on their children a sense of strength and virtue.

      While the name Kalel emerged as a result of an invented character, it has found a place in modern-day usage, particularly in American society. It is often chosen by parents who admire Superman's values and wish for their child to exhibit similar characteristics of courage and moral fortitude. Although it lacks historical significance, Kalel serves as a unique and distinctive name that holds a strong association with the iconic superhero.
