US Popularity:17664
Origin:British
Other Origin(s):Celtic
Meaning:From Denzell; Fort, high stronghold; Fertile upland
While variants like Denzel and Denzil have arisen, Denzell is the original spelling of this English masculine name. First given to an estate in St. Mawgan, Cornwall, Denzell has a centuries-long history. Over time, those who came from this estate began using Denzell as a first and last name, earning it the definition "from Denzell." Ultimately, Denzell derives from the Cornish language, translating to "fort," "high stronghold," or "fertile upland." In the years ahead, when little Denzell starts turning chairs, blankets, and boxes into "forts," you can tell them about the stronghold that inspired their name.
