Orsel Origin and Meaning

The name Orsel is a girl's name.

Orsel is an uncommon unisex name, though more frequently used for females, with obscure origins. It may be related to the French word 'oiselle,' meaning 'little bird,' or could be derived from Germanic elements. Alternatively, it might be connected to place names or surnames from various European traditions. The name has a distinctive, somewhat antique quality that sets it apart from more common contemporary names. Orsel has never achieved widespread popularity in the English-speaking world, making it an extremely rare choice. Its concise two-syllable structure and unusual combination of sounds give it a distinctive quality that might appeal to parents seeking a truly unique name that still has a traditional feel and relatively straightforward pronunciation.
