Terell, pronounced tuh-RELL (/təˈrɛl/), is a masculine given name that arose as a variant of the English surname Terrell, which traces back to Old French roots (tiriel, “to pull”) and may also reflect a Germanic personal name denoting steadfastness. Over recent decades in the United States, it has maintained a modest presence, ranking around the low 900s in popularity with roughly a dozen newborns named Terell in 2024. Its two-syllable structure and Anglo-American heritage lend it a solid, approachable quality, while its crisp consonant-vowel pattern suggests a sense of firm resolve. Although it has not broken into higher popularity tiers, Terell’s relative scarcity ensures it is seldom confused with more common names, offering parents a discreet touch of individuality. The name carries associations of resilience and reflects a balanced blend of tradition and distinctiveness. For families seeking a name that is familiar yet pleasantly uncommon, Terell presents a composed and thoughtful choice.
