Flavel is of Latin origin and means "yellow-haired". It is believed to have been derived from the Latin word 'flavus', which translates to yellow or golden. This name was particularly popular in France during the Middle Ages, often given to fair-haired children as a way of expressing parental delight in their appearance. The name Flavel has also appeared in literature, most notably in the works of French author Honoré de Balzac, further contributing to its distinctive character and appeal.
