From the 13th century the place name was spelled Wicle, Wijckel, Wickell, Wycla, Wyckel, Wickell, and Wickel. The place name probably refers to an open forest (lo) of Wike.

Until 1984 Wijckel was in the municipality of Gaasterland, then in the municipality of Gaasterland-Sloten. Since 2014, the place has been part of the municipality of De Friese Meren.
