About the name Terrell
Terrell is an English name derived from the Old French name Tirel, which became a Norman surname after the Conquest. Its meaning is usually given as ‘stubborn’ or ‘puller’, from an Old French verb meaning ‘to pull’, perhaps describing a stubborn person or animal that pulled against the reins.
