History & Origin

Lonzell is a blended coinage that pairs Lon, a short form of Alonzo - from a Germanic name meaning 'noble and ready' - with the ending -zell. It belongs to the early twentieth-century taste for inventive masculine names built from a familiar root and a fresh ending.

It was always rare, given to only about twenty boys a year around its 1958 peak, and it never spread widely. A man named Lonzell would be around retirement age today, and the name reads as a distinctive period coinage rather than a revival.

Did you know? Alonzo gave American naming several offshoots, and Lonzell is one where the Lon- opening was recombined with a snappy -zell ending in the early twentieth century.
