Brookel is English in Origin.

Brookel is a modern English given name built on Brooke, which itself comes from the Middle English/Old English broc, “brook, stream.” As a surname Brooke signified someone who lived by a stream; as a given name it entered regular use in the 19th century and became widely popular - especially for girls - in the late 20th century in the US and UK. The core meaning remains pastoral and water‑evocative: “brook,” “small stream,” or “dweller by the brook.”

Brookel appears as a creative elaboration of Brooke with the ornamental -el/-elle ending, comparable to the rarer Brookelle; usage is contemporary and uncommon but recognizable across English‑speaking countries. Variants and related forms include Brookelle, Brookell, Brooke, Brook, Brooklyn, Brooklynn, and Brookelyn; Brooks serves as a masculine counterpart. Nicknames may be Brook, Brooke, Brookie, or Elle. Note that the -el here is stylistic and not the Hebrew theophoric element -el (“God”).
