Lovell Origin and Meaning

The name Lovell is a boy's name.

Lovell is a masculine surname-turned-first-name with Anglo-Norman origins. Derived from the Old French 'louvel' meaning 'little wolf,' it was originally a nickname for someone fierce or wolf-like in character. The name entered England after the Norman Conquest and established itself as both a surname and occasional given name. Lovell peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1920s but remains relatively uncommon today. The name carries a sophisticated, gentlemanly quality with its soft consonants and connection to noble medieval families. Some may also appreciate its phonetic resemblance to the word 'love,' giving it a subtly affectionate undertone.
