Idell

Idell is a feminine name of uncertain etymology, though it possibly derives as a variant of Ida with the fashionable '-ell' suffix added. Ida itself comes from Old Germanic origins meaning 'industrious' or 'hardworking.' Alternatively, Idell may relate to the Hebrew name Adel, meaning 'noble.' This name experienced modest popularity in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries but has since become quite rare. Idell has an antique charm that connects to the vintage name revival trend, though it remains a distinctive choice. The name carries a delicate sound with a subtle strength, balancing uniqueness with sufficient familiarity to be recognizable. Though uncommon today, its simple elegance gives it potential for rediscovery.

Idell is also given to boys.

Pronounced eye-DEL.
