Ozell is an uncommon and unique given name of English origin. It was created by combining the names Osmond and Ellis, resulting in a blend that has gained some popularity over time but remains relatively rare. The name Ozell is often used for both males and females, making it unisex in nature. Its usage as a given name began to appear more frequently in the United States during the mid-20th century, with its peak of popularity occurring between the 1950s and 1970s. However, even at its height, Ozell was not among the most common names chosen for newborns. Today, it continues to be used sparingly but has developed a distinct character and charm due to its uniqueness.
The name Ozell experienced significant popularity fluctuations over the century, with peaks in certain decades. The highest number of births occurred in 1934 and 1944, both years having 41 births each. Conversely, some years saw very few or no births at all, especially towards the end of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.
