Buel Origin and Meaning

The name Buel is a boy's name.

Buel is a masculine name with American roots, possibly originating as a surname derived from the Old English 'bula' meaning 'young bull' or as a variant of Buell. The name gained modest usage in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but remains quite uncommon today. Buel has a concise, strong sound with its single syllable and firm ending consonant, giving it a distinctly masculine quality. The name carries a vintage Americana feel, evoking images of the frontier era and self-reliance. While rare in contemporary usage, it offers an interesting alternative to more common short names for boys, appealing to parents seeking something distinctive with historical resonance yet simple pronunciation and spelling.
