Tynell Origin and Meaning

The name Tynell is a boy's name.

Tynell appears to be a modern name with uncertain etymology. It may be a variant spelling of Tyrell or Tyrrell, which has Norman French origins meaning 'stubborn' or 'strong-willed,' derived from the French 'Tirel.' Alternatively, it could be a creative variation combining elements like Ty- (found in names such as Tyrone or Tyler) with a distinctive ending. The spelling with 'y' instead of 'i' follows contemporary naming trends favoring unique orthography. While historical documentation of Tynell before the late 20th century is limited, it represents innovative naming practices that became more common in American naming from the 1970s onward. The name has a strong, compact sound with its two syllables creating a balanced rhythm.
