Francel is a name of French origin, derived from the masculine given name François. It is composed of two elements: 'franc', meaning 'free' or 'bold', and 'cel', which is a shortened form of 'Célestin'. The name is often associated with France due to its popularity in that country but it can be found in various other French-speaking regions around the world.
The name Francel was given to five babies in 1963.
