Kerell is English in Origin.

Kerell is a rare modern given name most plausibly linked to the Cyril/Kirill family, ultimately from Greek Kyrillos, “lordly” or “belonging to the lord,” based on kyrios, “lord.” The name flourished in Christian usage from Late Antiquity through the Middle Ages thanks to eminent saints such as Cyril of Alexandria and the missionary brothers Cyril and Methodius, which spread it across Greek, Slavic, and Western traditions.

As a spelling, Kerell appears in contemporary English-speaking contexts, likely as an inventive Anglicization of Kerill/Kerrill and in overlap with Irish Kerrill, the name of a little‑known early medieval saint from Galway. Variants and cognates include Kerill, Kerrill, Cyril, Cyrille (French), Cyrillus (Latin), Kiril/Kirill (Bulgarian/Russian), Kyrill (German), and Italian Cirillo; feminine forms include Cyrilla and Kirilla. Short forms Cy, Kir, and Kiro occur regionally. Meaning: “lordly; of the lord.”
