Denziel

Denziel is a masculine name derived from the British Denzell. Denzell is a location in Cornwall, a beautiful county on England’s southwestern coast. In the Cornish language, the name means “Fort, high stronghold, fertile upland.” Nobles throughout English history have carried this name and its variants, notably Denzil Holles, whose attempted arrest by King Charles I sparked the First English Civil War. In contemporary times, the variant spelling Denzel has become a popular choice as an homage to the legendary Hollywood actor Denzel Washington. With a cool and one-of-a-kind spelling, Denziel is an excellent choice for baby, a timeless name with modern appeal.
