Errell is English, Scottish in Origin.

Errell is a rare given name with several plausible roots. It is most often treated as a modern variant of Errol, the Scottish place‑name surname from the village of Errol in Perthshire (the exact etymology is uncertain, likely Gaelic). It also echoes Welsh Eryl, a unisex name linked to lookout points and the root eryr “eagle,” suggesting meanings such as “watchful” or “eagle’s eyrie.” In Brittany, the closely spelled Erell is used, sometimes associated with Breton ael “angel,” giving a gentler “angelic” or “messenger” sense. As with many cross‑channel names, meaning depends on the origin chosen.

Usage is sporadic in English‑speaking countries, emerging in the late 20th century as a stylish, gender‑flexible alternative to Errol, Eryl, Erin, or Ariel. It feels familiar yet uncommon, with a subtle vintage aura via association with Errol while remaining distinct. Variants and related forms include Errol, Eryl, Erell, Errel, Aerol, and Eriel.
