Artrell is English in Origin.

Artrell is a modern American given name, widely understood as an African-American innovation. It blends the element Art- - a short form of Arthur or Arturo - with the rhythmic suffix -rell/-trell common in late-20th-century naming. If connected to Arthur, the root traces to Celtic artos “bear,” so Artrell is often interpreted as “little bear” or “of Art,” though as a modern coinage its meaning is associative rather than fixed.

The name appears in U.S. records from the 1970s onward and remains rare, gaining broader notice via NFL player Artrell Hawkins. Variants and related spellings include Artrell, Artrel, Atrell, and the occasional feminine Artrelle; it also aligns with the broader pattern seen in Martrell, Dontrell, and Antrell. Artrell carries a contemporary, creative feel while nodding to the venerable Arthur/Arturo lineage, making it a distinctive choice that mixes classic roots with modern style.
