Denzill Origin and Meaning

The name Denzill is a boy's name.

Denzill is an uncommon masculine name that serves as a variant spelling of Denzel, which itself likely originated as a surname derived from a place name in Cornwall, England. The doubled 'l' gives it a distinctive appearance while maintaining the same pronunciation. The name gained some recognition through acclaimed actor Denzel Washington, though this alternative spelling remains quite rare. Denzill combines strength and uniqueness, with a somewhat aristocratic quality reminiscent of old English surnames adapted as given names. While not widely used in any country, it appeals to parents seeking a masculine name with character that isn't commonly heard. The name has a strong, confident sound with its emphasis on the first syllable and crisp consonant ending.
