Luzel is a modern given name with several plausible etymologies.

As a given name it appears sporadically from the late 20th century in Latin America, the Philippines, and South Africa, rare and often unisex. Variants and related forms include Luz, Luzia/Lúcia/Lucia, Lucel, Luzelle, Luziel, and Luzele; short forms Lu, Lulu, and Zel. With its luminous root and crisp sound, Luzel offers a cross‑cultural alternative to Lucia, Luz, or the elaborated Luzelle.
