Sorel Origin and Meaning

The name Sorel is a boy's name.

Sorel is a masculine name with multiple origins. It can be traced to Old French, where it was a diminutive of 'sor' meaning 'reddish-brown,' originally used as a nickname for someone with reddish hair. It also exists as a French surname and place name. In some contexts, Sorel may connect to the Canadian city in Quebec, named after a type of sorrel plant. The name has a sophisticated, uncommon quality that appeals to parents seeking distinctive options. While never reaching mainstream popularity, Sorel projects an intellectual, slightly artistic image with its soft consonants and French resonance. Its rarity gives it a special distinction for the relatively few who bear it.
