History & Origin

Mazell is a coined girl's name of the early twentieth century, most plausibly built on Zell or Zella with a Ma- opening. It fits a regional fashion for melodic, invented -ell names.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its high around the early nineteen-thirties, and it faded by mid-century. A girl named Mazell then would be of great-grandmother age today.

Did you know? Mazell shares its -zell ending with a small family of period names like Zella and Ozell, a hallmark of early Southern American coinage.
