About Haskell

Haskell has two separate forms of origin, the first being from the Ancient Norse given name Ásketill. The Normans converted Ásketill to Aschetil, then the English transformed Aschetil into Haskell, which was originally only used as a surname. Haskell is also considered a variant of Haskel, a Yiddish given name derived from Ezekiel.

Haskell is also given to girls.

Pronounced HAS-kul.

As of October 2026, Haskell ranked #9283 in US births in 2024 SSA, peaked at #432 in 1908.
