It's "Kyell". It's used in Norwegian and Swedish, in which case the J is pronounced like a Y.

neither shell nor chell :-) - Listen!!
Hi Winter Roisin,
Both the Swedish and the Norwegian pronunciations are somewhere in between shell and chell, and the Danish pronunciation is kyell.

ahh thanks
I was once acquainted with a Kjell who was born here in the US and pronounced it "chell." I guess his parents probably came from Norway. "Chell" is about as close as I could get to that sound.

It still sounds like shell to me...
Pronounced like "shell"
I'm from Sweden and I here it's pronounced just like the word Shell. (not chell)I don't know how it is pronounced in Norway but I guess it is the same.
