What is the meaning of the name Marchel ?

The baby name Marchel is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MAR-chel (MAR-chel, with 'ch' as in 'church'),mar-SELL (as Marcel, common variant pronunciation).

Marchel is Latin in Origin.

Marchel is a rare given name most commonly treated as a spelling variant of Marcel, from Latin Marcellus, a diminutive of Marcus (ultimately from the Roman god Mars). In this line it carries the sense little warrior or devoted to Mars. The h-insertion appears in some Dutch and Central European records and occasionally in French-influenced contexts. A separate, less common route links it to Welsh Marchell (with double l), a medieval saint's name; while spelled differently, it sometimes inspires the single-l form.

Usage is sporadic across Europe from the late 19th century onward, and the form also occurs as a Polish surname. Related forms and cognates include Marcel, Marcell, Marcellus, Marcello, Marcelo, Marceau, and the feminine Marcelle, Marcella, Marcela, and Marchelle; Welsh Marchell is feminine. Short forms may mirror Marcel's set (Marc, Marce), though no single nickname is standard.
