Crawel is English in Origin.

Crawel is a rare English surname-turned-given name, most plausibly a variant or phonetic respelling of Crowell, Crowel, or Crawell. These surnames are topographic, from Old English crāwe “crow” + wella “spring, well,” identifying someone who lived by a “crow’s well” or a spring frequented by crows. The meaning carries bird imagery of keen observation and resourcefulness, long associated with crows in English lore.

Crowell appears in medieval English records and as a place-derived surname (cf. Crowell in Oxfordshire), and it began to see occasional use as a personal name in the 19th century amid the Anglo-American fashion for surname first names. Crawel itself remains exceedingly uncommon but aligns with contemporary tastes for crisp, -el endings. Variants and related forms include Crawell, Crowell, Crowel, Crowle, Crawle, and Crawley; short forms such as Craw or Crow are possible. The name is broadly unisex.
