Ansel is German in Origin.
Ansel is a contracted form of the Germanic name Anselm, built from ans- 'deity, the gods' and helm 'helmet, protection.' It therefore means 'divine protection' or 'protected by the gods.' In medieval Latin it appears as Anselmus.
The name gained wide recognition through Saint Anselm of Canterbury (11th century) and later found a modern American echo via the photographer Ansel Adams, helping keep the streamlined form in circulation. Usage in English has been steady but uncommon since the 19th century. Variants and related forms include Anselm (German), Anselme (French), Anselmo (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), Anzelm (Polish), and the feminine Anselma. English spellings Ansell and the surname form Ansell/Ancell share the same roots. In Ashkenazi contexts, the Yiddish Anshel/Anschel is sometimes Anglicized as Ansel, yielding a parallel line of use and, when tied to Hebrew Asher, an alternate sense of 'happy' or 'blessed.'
