I'm looking for any information on the history/meaning of the female name Armenell. This is a friends middle name, named after one of her grandmothers. She has been told that it has English roots.

Any information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

My.middle name is Armenell . It is a family name . My great great great grandmother was born on a ship coming out from Cornwall to Melbourne . The ship was named ARMENELL MARION . The father was in such a hurry to register the new baby when they arrived..he registered her MARION ARMENELL . The ARMENELL has been handed down to the eldest daughter. Me ..my mother..my grandmother ..her mother ..and her mother . Unfortunately I had 2 sons .

Very interesting . ARMENELL MARION was the name of a ship my great great great grandmother was born on ..coming out from Cornwall to Melbourne . The father was in such a hurry to register the baby ..he registered her as Marion Armenell . The eldest daughter of each generation had been handed on this name . Unfortunately I had 2 sons . Me ..my.mother ..my grandmother ..her mother and her mother . Their name was DAVIES ...so Marion Armenell DAVIES was the baby named after the ship . It's very interesting ... Davies descendants often have get togethers. The family tree is now huge . I'm often looking for more I formation as I love family tree stuff . My ancestors on dad's side were and are still barrons and Barronesses ..the title is handed down with the surname von Bibra ..my maiden name .

I would assume this is an alternate spelling of Arminel. According to E. G. Withycombe's The Oxford Dictionary of English Christian Names, Arminel is a woman's name which was mostly confined to county Devon in England. The earliest example the book gives is from a woman living in Devon in 1797. Withycombe says that Arminel "looks like a diminutive of Armine", itself a French feminine form of Armand or Herman, but the way she phrases that it seems like it's just her educated guess as to the origin.

I wonder if this name can be related to Armella (of Breton origin and spreading out among catholics throughout Europe)
