History & Origin
Torrell is a coinage built on the -ell pattern of Terrell and Darrell, with a To-/Tor- opening. Names in this family spread among African American families from the 1960s onward. Torrell appears in United States records from the mid-1960s and reached a small high around 1989.
A boy named Torrell at that late-1980s high would be in his thirties now. It reads as a sturdy, of-its-era coinage and has not revived, though its Terrell-like ring still sounds strong and contemporary.
