Chennell is an uncommon, yet captivating female given name of English origin. It is derived from the surname 'Channel', which is believed to have been brought over by Norman settlers during the 11th century. The name Channel itself originates from the Old French word 'chenel', meaning 'channel' or 'stream'. While the modern interpretation of Chennell might lean towards its nautical associations, it can also be seen as a refreshing and unique choice, independent of its etymological roots.
"Chennell was quite popular as a baby girl name in 1985 with exactly five newborns given that unique moniker."
