Powel is a masculine name with Welsh and Polish origins. In Welsh, it evolved as a variant of Powell, which itself derives from the given name Paul (from Latin 'Paulus' meaning 'small' or 'humble'). In Polish contexts, it can be a variant spelling of Paweł, the Polish form of Paul. The name has never achieved widespread popularity in English-speaking countries but maintains a steady presence in Welsh communities and areas with strong Polish heritage. Powel carries an air of distinction and tradition, often associated with lineage and family history. In the United States, it occasionally appears as a surname-turned-first-name, reflecting the trend of using family surnames as given names, though it remains relatively uncommon compared to more conventional variants like Paul or Pavel.
