Arnell is Germanic in Origin.
Arnell likely stems from the Germanic name Arnold, carried into English via Norman French and softened by the -el/-ell ending. Arnold combines arn, “eagle,” with wald, “rule/power,” yielding senses such as “eagle ruler” or “strong as an eagle,” which pass to Arnell. In Sweden and other Nordic countries, Arnell also appears as an ornamental surname built on the Arn- (“eagle”) element, further anchoring the name in the pan‑Germanic eagle tradition.
As a given name, Arnell is modern in feel and rare in records before the 20th century, when it surfaces in the United States and other English‑speaking regions; it is used for boys and occasionally girls. Variants and relatives include Arnel, Arnelle, Arnold, Arno, Arne, Arnaud, and Arnall. Short forms Arnie and Ari fit the masculine side, while Nell can serve as a feminine nickname. Overall, Arnell offers a sleek, heritage‑rich alternative.
