Marshell
Marshell Origin and Meaning
Marshell is an uncommon feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Marshall, which traditionally functions more often as a surname or masculine given name. The name derives from Old French "mareschal," referring to a person who cares for horses or a high official. As a feminine name, Marshell represents the modern trend of adapting traditionally masculine or surname-based names for girls, often with altered spelling. The double-l ending gives it a softer, more feminine appearance than the traditional Marshall. While not widely used for girls, it fits alongside other profession-based names that have crossed gender lines. Marshell carries connotations of authority and service, as the title Marshal historically designated someone in a position of leadership or responsibility.
