Lascell is in Origin.

Lascell is a streamlined given-name form of the English surname Lascelles, of Norman French toponymic origin. The surname points to several places called La Celle or Les Celles in Normandy, from Latin cella, "monastic cell" or hermitage; it thus carries the sense "from the (monastic) cells" or "dweller near the hermitage." Spelling variants include Lascelles, Lascelle, Lassell, Lassells, and Lascel, with Lascell a rare modern simplification.

Brought to England after 1066, the Lascelles family became prominent in Yorkshire and later produced the Earls of Harewood, giving the name an aristocratic cast. As a given name, Lascell/Lascelles emerged in the 19th and early 20th centuries via the British habit of repurposing surnames, and enjoys some use in the Caribbean and wider Commonwealth (see poet Lascelles Abercrombie and Jamaican entrepreneur Lascelles Chin). The name suits those seeking a tailored, historic choice with quiet ecclesiastical roots.
