Videl is a name of Japanese origin derived from the kanji character 茂 (mori), meaning "thick" or "luxuriant," but it's not commonly used in Japan and has no established meaning there. It gained global popularity through Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga series, where Videl is a strong-willed female character who becomes Gohan's love interest. Despite its unconventional spelling, Videl is now a popular name among fans worldwide, often chosen to honor these characters or incorporate Japanese culture. However, it may still face pronunciation challenges outside of these circles.
