Connel, of Scottish Gaelic origin, is an uncommon given name that adds a touch of uniqueness to those who bear it. Pronounced as 'KAH-nuhl', this name is derived from the Gaelic word 'Coinneach', which means 'kind' or 'gentle'. It is often associated with the Irish name Conall, although they have distinct origins and meanings. Traditionally, Connel has been more popular in Scotland, but it can also be found among families of Scottish descent elsewhere in the world.
"Connell was quite popular in 1995, with six newborns bearing this name that year."
