Spring or well
Kell is a surname-derived name with roots in Old Norse and Middle English. It originally referred to someone who lived near a spring or a well, coming from the word 'keld'. It is often used as a short form of names like Kelly or Kellan but stands alone as a minimalist, nature-inspired choice.
