From the stone house or farm
Tremel is likely a variant of the Cornish surname Tremell or Tremellin, derived from the Celtic elements 'tre' meaning settlement or farm and 'mell' meaning stone or hill. It may also be used as a modern variation of names like Tremaine. As a first name, it is extremely rare and often chosen for its rhythmic, modern sound.
