Marshell Origin and Meaning

The name Marshell is a boy's name.

Marshell is a masculine name that represents a variant spelling of Marshall, derived from an Old French occupational surname meaning 'one who tends horses' or 'horse servant'. This alternative spelling emerged as parents sought ways to personalize traditional names while maintaining their essential sound and character. Marshall (and its variants) transitioned from surname to given name during the 19th century, and Marshell represents a less common variation. The name carries connotations of authority and service, influenced by its historical associations with military and legal titles (Marshal, Marshall). While not ranking among popular names, Marshell offers a distinctive option for parents appreciating the traditional Marshall but desiring something slightly different.
