Ozell Origin and Meaning
Ozell is a feminine name with American roots, though it has been used for both genders historically.

Ozell has a distinctive, melodic quality with its soft 'z' sound and strong ending. It gained some recognition in African American communities during the early to mid-20th century but has remained relatively uncommon. The name carries a sense of individuality and uniqueness, appealing to parents seeking something both unusual and melodious. Ozell has the advantage of being recognizable while still feeling fresh and distinctive in contemporary naming landscapes.
