Juell is English in Origin.

Juell is a modern unisex given name with dual roots. In English it aligns with Jewel, the word-name derived from Middle English juel and Old French jouel, ultimately from Medieval Latin jocale “plaything,” which evolved to mean “treasure” or “precious stone”; thus Juell conveys “precious,” “beloved,” or “treasured.” In Scandinavian contexts, it echoes the surname Juel/Juul, often linked to “Jul” (Yule), the midwinter festival, giving it seasonal overtones of celebration and light.

As a first name, Juell is rare but documented in the United States from the late 20th century, part of the trend toward phonetic or ornamental spellings; it skews feminine by association with Jewel, though it remains usable for any gender. Variants and cognates include Jewel, Jewell, Jewelle, Juel, Juul, and Juelle. As a surname, related forms Juel and Juul are well established in Denmark and Norway.
