History & Origin

Marchello is an English respelling of Marcello, the Italian form of Latin Marcellus, 'little Marcus' — and Marcus from Mars, the god of war. In Italian the c before e already gives the 'ch' sound, so the added h is a spelling for English eyes. The name carries the glamour of Marcello Mastroianni (said 'mar-CHEL-oh').

It is very rare in the U.S. Rare, Italian, and stylish.

Did you know? Marcello Mastroianni made the name shorthand for Italian glamour. Marchello adds an h to keep English speakers saying the 'ch' — a spelling of convenience.
