Meaning & History
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.
