Rusel is English in Origin.

Rusel is a streamlined spelling of Russell, from Norman French Roussel, a diminutive of Old French rous "red(-haired), reddish," ultimately from Latin russus. The meaning is "little red one" or "red-haired," first used as a color-based nickname. As a surname it entered England with the Normans and later shifted into use as a given name.

In the Anglophone world, Russell flourished in the 19th-20th centuries; Rusel shows up as a modern phonetic or stylistic variant. Related forms include Russell, Russel (one-l), and French Roussel; short forms are Russ and Rusty. Rusel keeps the familiar sound while offering a leaner look. Recognition is buoyed by bearers of the base name, such as Bertrand Russell and Russell Crowe, which helps underline the name’s association with intellect and presence while preserving the original “red-haired” sense.
