History & Origin

Catrell belongs to a modern set of boys' names built on the -trell sound - Terrell, Latrell, Montrell - here fronted by a crisp Ca-. It also brushes against the surname Cantrell, giving it a familiar, grounded ring.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen boys a year at its peak around 2005. As a sound-first coinage it carries no separate dictionary meaning; its appeal is the punch of Ca- into -trell.

Did you know? A boy named Catrell around its peak in 2005 is still young, born when strong -ell and -trell endings were a lively source of new boys' names.
