Marshel is of Arabic origin, translating to "young lion". It is derived from the Arabic word "maršal", which means "young" and "lion". This name suggests a powerful and youthful energy. In some cultures, Marshel may be associated with strength, courage, and leadership, traits often attributed to lions in folklore and symbolism. The name Marshel has been used as both a given name and a surname throughout history, predominantly among Arabic-speaking communities. However, it is also found in other regions where Arabic influences are present.
"Marshel saw its peak popularity between 1917 and 1923, with a high of 20 births in 1923. However, it experienced a significant decline thereafter, with fewer than 20 births per year from 1924 onwards. The name remained relatively stable until the mid-1950s, after which it became quite uncommon, with only sporadic appearances throughout the rest of the century."
