Meaning & origin

Mazell is a rare and distinctive name that has seen minimal usage since its first recorded appearance in the early 20th century. Its popularity reached a modest peak in 1931, with most births occurring during the 1930s. The name has not ranked in the top 1000 in any year and is given very infrequently today. Its etymology is uncertain, possibly stemming from the Hebrew word for luck or as a variant of Marcel. Mazell's sound places it among the -ell ending names popular in the early 1900s, though it never achieved the broader adoption of similar names like Hazel or Mabel.

Mazell is a rare American given name that first appeared in the early 20th century. It may be an elaboration of Mazel, itself from the Hebrew word 'mazal' (luck), or a variant of Marcel, a French form of the Latin name Marcellus. Its usage peaked in the 1930s but has since become uncommon.
