Murrel, derived from the Old French 'Mouret', means 'from the red border'. It is of Norman origin and was introduced to England after the Norman Conquest in 1066. The name Murrel is relatively rare today, but it has a unique, distinct sound that sets it apart from more common names.
"Murrel saw its peak popularity between 1912 and 1928, with over 20 births annually. However, it steadily declined thereafter, dropping below 10 births per year from 1934 onwards, with only a few exceptions."
