Chanell is a modern feminine given name, a streamlined variant of Chanel, derived from a French surname rooted in Old French chanel “channel, canal,” ultimately from Latin canalis. The surname likely referred to someone living by a watercourse or near a conduit; as a given name it evokes flow, passage, and connection, alongside strong associations with luxury and elegance through the famed fashion house.

As a first name, it gained currency in the late 20th century after the global fame of designer Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, with usage peaking in the 1980s-1990s in English-speaking countries. The spelling Chanell appears chiefly in the US and UK as a phonetic or stylistic variant.

Nickname options include Nell, Nelly, or Chelle.
