Orvel Origin and Meaning
The name Orvel is a boy's name.
Orvel is a masculine name with Germanic and Old English influences. It appears to be a variant of Orville, which derives from Old French elements meaning 'golden city' (from 'or' meaning gold and 'ville' meaning town). The name has a vintage quality reminiscent of the early 20th century when similar-sounding names were more common. Orvel has never achieved widespread popularity and remains relatively rare in contemporary usage. The name carries associations with pioneering spirit through connection to aviation pioneer Orville Wright. Its distinctive sound and spelling make it stand out while retaining a certain old-fashioned charm that might appeal to parents seeking uncommon names with historical resonance.
