Hazell Coat of Arms and Surname Origin

Clerks wrote Hazel in many ways, and Hazell is one that stuck. The family name meaning is “Dweller at, or near, the hazel bushes”, the same as for Hazel. Hazell adds “l” to Hazel, a small change that crept in as the name was written down. You may also find the name written Hasel.

About 1,170 people in the United States were recorded as Hazell in 2010, placing it 22,113 on the national list. That is enough to place it in the top 25,000 American surnames.
