Tirell is a unique and contemporary given name of English origin, derived from the Old Norse 'Þorhallr'. It is composed of two elements: 'Þór', meaning 'thunder' and 'hállr', signifying 'dweller'. Historically, this name was borne by a 10th-century Norwegian earl who fought against King Olaf Tryggvason. Today, Tirell remains uncommon, allowing it to stand out as an appealing choice for parents seeking a distinctive moniker.
"Tirell appears to have been a popular name among parents in the late 20th century, with peaks in popularity around 1978-79 and again in the mid-90s. However, it seems to have fallen out of favor somewhat by the turn of the millennium."
