It was first recorded in 1914, and its trajectory has remained stable at very low numbers, with no recorded births in many recent years. The name is of English origin, likely derived from a surname referencing a moor or marshland. Because of its rarity, it has no notable nicknames or variants. Parents considering Morrell might pair it with other early 20th century names like Clara or Walter.
