Charnell is a modern English name likely created as a blend of Charlotte or Charles with the suffix -nell, or as a variation of the surname Charnel. It is often associated with the French word 'charnel' meaning 'fleshly,' though in a naming context, it is usually interpreted through its phonetic components as a combination of 'free man' and 'bright.'
