Mazell
Mazell Origin and Meaning
Mazell is an uncommon feminine name with possible connections to several linguistic origins. It may derive from the Yiddish 'mazel' meaning 'luck' or 'fortune' (as in the phrase 'mazel tov'), giving it auspicious associations. Alternatively, it could be a variant of Mozelle, a name with French origins, possibly referring to the Moselle River. The name has maintained a quiet presence primarily in American naming patterns, particularly in southern states during the early to mid-20th century. Mazell has a distinctive sound with its strong 'z' consonant and clear ending, giving it a memorable quality despite its rarity. While uncommon in contemporary usage, it represents cultural heritage for those with Jewish or Southern American connections and offers uniqueness without being difficult to pronounce.
