The name can also be used for females. My cousin for example.

Marcel Toing is the main character of Ratatoing, the infamous Brazilian ripoff of Ratatouille made by Video Brinquedo.
I think this name is so adorable! I have grown to love it since watching the “Ricardo Family” Playmobil show on YouTube. The teenage boy of the family is named Marcel. My husband thought the name and the character were feminine, and apparently other fans have wondered that too.
The name Marcel was given to 312 boys born in the US in 2016. More than 99.9 percent of people with the first name Marcel are male.

Marcel Nguyen is a German gymnast. In 2012, he became an Olympic silver medalist after competing at the 2012 London Olympic Games. He's a soldier (currently ranked Corporal) in the Bundeswehr (German military) since July 2007, beginning when he was training in the Bundeswehr Sports Development Group (Sportfördergruppe der Bundeswehr) in Munich.Born in Munich, to a German mother and a Central Vietnamese father, Nguyen began gymnastics at the age of four, and at seven years of age, joined TSV Unterhaching. Since 1995, he has trained at the regional training center in Munich. Since 1997, Nguyen was part of the squad perspective, where Andreas Hirsch and Jens Milbradt were his coaches. He rose quickly from the D- to B-squad. Since 2002, he has started for the Junior National Team. In 2005, Nguyen was the German junior champion on parallel bars, runner-up on rings and third in the vault. That same year he took part in the World Championships in Melbourne for the first time and placed 16th on the parallel bars.
This is a good strong name, and it's not frequently used at all. It doesn't sound feminine, but maybe a bit wimpy. It could always be shortened to Marc though, if he felt that way.
