Arvel is an English masculine given name of obscure origin. Its meaning is unknown, but it is possibly a variant of the Old Welsh name Arwel, whose etymology is also uncertain. While Arwel has ancient roots in Wales, Arvel is a rare form that may have emerged as a modern spelling variation or through folk etymology. The name has never been common, and its usage is limited primarily to English-speaking countries. Due to its rarity, no prominent bearers or historical figures are recorded. It may also be related to the Welsh river name Arwel, though this connection is speculative. Meaning: unknown, possibly related to ArwelOrigin: Old WelshType: given nameUsage: English
