Meschell Origin and Meaning

The name Meschell is a girl's name.

Meschell is an uncommon feminine name representing a creative spelling variation of Michelle. While Michelle derives from the Hebrew male name Michael, meaning 'who is like God,' Meschell emerged as parents sought distinctive ways to spell this popular classic. This particular spelling likely developed in the late 20th century when alternative name spellings gained traction. The unique 'sch' combination gives the name a slightly different visual appearance while maintaining a similar pronunciation to the original. Though considerably rarer than Michelle, which ranked among the top girls' names in the 1960s-1980s, Meschell offers the same elegant sound with an individualized touch. The name carries the same biblical heritage and dignified associations while standing out in written form.
