Vintage and sophisticated-sounding, Harrel is a unique alternative to the more popular moniker Harold. Of Hebrew origin, Harrel is typically masculine and means “God’s mount,” offering a subtle nod to faith. While Harrel has quite deep Hebrew roots, it also boasts some strong Gaelic ties and comes from the surname Ó hEarghail, meaning “descendant of Earghal.” Leaving room for sweet nicknames, Harrel can be easily shortened to Harry.
