Quennal is English in Origin.

Quennal is a rare given name derived from the English surname Quennell/Quennel, itself from Norman French Quesnel. The element quesne in Norman French corresponds to modern French chêne, “oak,” combined with the diminutive -el, yielding the sense “little oak” or “oak grove.” The surname entered England with Norman settlers and attached to people from places called Le Quesnel in Normandy and Picardy, later producing anglicized spellings such as Quennell, Quennel, and Quennall; Quennal arises as a modern variant.

As a forename, Quennal has seen sporadic, chiefly English-speaking use from the late nineteenth century onward, often perceived as masculine but functionally unisex. Its oak-rooted meaning lends connotations of endurance and steadfastness. Related forms and cognates include Quennel, Quennell, Quennall; French Quesnel, Quesnell, Quesnelle; and the simplified Quenel. Parents seeking a nature-linked yet surname-style choice may find Quennal distinctive without being entirely unfamiliar.
