BabyNames.com had this name erroneously listed as "African American origin" meaning "Thunder Ruler". I have the feeling that was either a prank or the doing of an Afrocentric person.More likely, American blacks gravitated towards this name as a number of them have developed an affinity for names that end in "ell". Certainly a much nicer sounding set of names than the "Sha" or "La" names.
