Orenthal is an uncommon given name of American origin, derived from the combination of two names: 'Oren' and 'Thael'. The name 'Oren' has Hebrew roots, meaning 'pine tree', while 'Thael' is of Greek derivation, signifying 'to flourish'. Together, they convey a sense of growth and vitality. Despite its unique composition, Orenthal remains relatively rare in usage, perhaps due to its unconventional structure.
The name Orenthal experienced significant popularity during the late 1960s and early to mid-1970s, peaking at 28 births in 1977. However, it rapidly declined thereafter, with fewer than 10 births per year from 1983 onwards. Despite this drop, the name has seen a resurgence recently, with an increase from 5 births in 2004 to 6 births in 2005. Overall, there have been a total of 277 births since 1968.
