Johnnell is an intriguing and unique given name of unknown origin, derived from a blend of 'John' and an unidentified second element. It is believed to have been created recently, as there is no historical record of it prior to the late 20th century. Despite its recent emergence, Johnnell has gained some popularity in English-speaking countries due to its distinctive sound and modern feel.
The name Johnnell has seen varied popularity over the decades, with peak years being 1976 and 1993-1995 when it was given to nine or seven newborns annually respectively. However, it seems to have fallen out of favor in recent times, with only five births recorded in both 2004 and 2010.
