Dell is English in Origin.
Dell is an English given name and surname derived from Middle English delle, ultimately from Old English dæl, meaning "valley" or "dell," a small secluded glen. As a nature-derived word name, it suggests pastoral calm and spare elegance.
Documented as a forename in the Anglophone world since the 19th century, Dell appears in U.S. records for both sexes, though more often for boys. It serves either as an independent name or a short form of Del- names such as Delbert and Delmar; for girls, it can trim Adela/Adella or Della. Variants and related forms include Del, Delle, Della (fem.), and Dale, which shares the same Germanic root. Popularity peaked in the late 1800s to early 1900s and declined through mid-century, leaving Dell a rare, vintage choice with a clear, outdoorsy meaning.
