Murell is a unique and distinctive given name of recent origin, believed to have been coined by its creator, the American musician and record producer, Prince Rogers Nelson, also known by his stage name Prince. The name Murell was bestowed upon his firstborn child, a son named Boy Gregory, born in 1976. As with many names created by Prince, Murell is considered to be an original spelling of the common given name Murray, which means "seamar" or "from the seacoast" in Scottish Gaelic. The use of the letter 'l' at the end of Murell is a distinctive feature that sets it apart from the more traditional spelling of Murray.
"Between 1923 and 1930, there were a total of 16 children named Murell born, with peaks in the years 1923 (6 births), 1927 (5 births), and again in 1930 (5 births)."
