Narell is in Origin.

Narell is a modern feminine given name chiefly used in Australia, most often treated as a streamlined variant of Narelle. Its etymology is uncertain: many Australian sources connect it to Aboriginal languages - sometimes via the New South Wales placename Narellan - and gloss it as “little river” or “waterlily,” although these meanings are not firmly documented. The French-looking -elle ending likely shaped the common spelling Narelle; Narell trims that final vowel without changing pronunciation for many speakers.

The name came into wider use in the mid-20th century, peaking in Australia during the 1970s–1980s and remaining uncommon elsewhere. Variant forms include Narelle, Narel, and Nerelle; short forms and nicknames include Nell, Nari, Rel/Relly, and Elle. Parents drawn to compact, mellifluous choices may like Narell’s clean profile while appreciating its local Australian heritage and nature-tinged associations.
