History & Origin

Lamell belongs to the American La- naming family, a creative twentieth-century tradition that gave Lamar, Lamont, Lavon and Lavelle. Names in the set are built for rhythm — an unstressed prefix leading to a strong second beat — rather than inherited from a root. Routes uncertain, which we note (said 'luh-MELL').

It appears only very rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, coined, and rhythmic.

Did you know? The La- prefix built a whole generation of American names — Lamar, Lamont, Lavelle — and Lamell is one of its lesser-known creations. Routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'luh-MELL').
