Denzille is a rare spelling of a Cornish–English name that began as a locational surname from the manor of Denzell in St Mawgan-in-Pydar, Cornwall. The place-name is usually explained from Brittonic (Cornish) elements din ‘fort’ and isel ‘low’, yielding the sense “low fort” or “fort in the valley,” though the exact etymology is debated. From the 1500s it was adopted as a given name among English gentry families.

Spelled most commonly Denzil in Britain and Denzel in the United States, other historical forms include Denzell, Densil, Densell, Denzill, and Denzelle; Denzille preserves an antiquarian -lle ending. The name enjoyed use in the 17th century (e.g., statesman Denzil Holles) and saw a modern boost in the late 20th century via actor Denzel Washington.
