Lovel

Lovel is a rare English masculine given name derived from the surname Lovel, which itself is a variant of the surname Lowell. The surname Lowell originated as a Norman French nickname, combining lou "wolf" with a diminutive suffix, essentially meaning "little wolf."

The name Lovel, like its source Lowell, never achieved widespread popularity as a first name. It belongs to the tradition of adopting surnames as given names, a practice particularly common in English-speaking countries. The name carries a sense of historical English onomastics and remains an extremely uncommon choice today.
