Montrel is English in Origin.

Montrel is a modern American given name, most common in African American naming traditions. Its form likely blends the French-derived element mont ("mountain," from Latin mons) with a rhythmic -rel/-rell ending familiar from names like Terrell and Darrell, and it is sometimes interpreted through the place-name Montreal, ultimately from Mont Royal, "royal mountain." Thus, Montrel carries an associative meaning of "royal mountain" or more loosely "of the mountain."

The name surfaces in U.S. records from the late 20th century and has seen modest, localized use rather than broad national popularity. Notable bearers include Montrel Jackson (1983–2016) and American football player Montrel Meander (b. 1995). Common variants and spellings are Montrell and Montrelle; related forms include Montel and Montreal. Short forms such as Mont or Rel are occasionally used. Montrel's appeal lies in its smooth cadence and subtle French flavor.
