History & Origin

Anzel is a modern spelling echoing Ansel/Anselm — from Germanic ans, 'a god', plus helm, 'helmet, protection' — 'under a god's protection' (routes layered, which we note). St Anselm was a great medieval theologian; the photographer Ansel Adams bore the short form. A crisp, modern name; the -z- styling personalizes it (said 'AN-zel'; nickname Anz).

It registers thinly in records. Rare, a-god's-protection at the root, and crisp.
