What is the meaning of the name Erell ?

The baby name Erell is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ɛˈrɛl/ (eh-REL),/ˈɛrəl/ (EH-rel).

Erell is Breton in Origin.

Erell is a modern Breton given name, used chiefly for girls but also unisex, rooted in the Celtic language of Brittany. Most onomastic sources connect it to Breton ael “angel,” with the -ell ending (seen in Katell) functioning as a feminine or affectionate suffix, yielding the sense “angel” or “little angel.” The name surfaced in broader use during the late-20th-century Breton cultural revival and remains rare outside France, where it is pronounced eh-RELL.

Variants and related forms include Erel (often masculine), the diminutive Erellig in Breton, and the cognate-like Welsh Eryl (distinct in origin and meaning). Some French bearers also use Erela/Erella as stylistic parallels, though those are Hebrew forms meaning “angel of God” rather than true Breton variants. Note that Basque Erle (“bee”) is unrelated despite visual similarity. Erell carries an ethereal, modern-Celtic feel with concise elegance.
