Sorrell is a gender-neutral name of English and Old French origins that was traditionally used as a last name. Coming from the Old French word sorel, it translates to “reddish brown” or “chestnut color,” and historically referred to someone with red hair. This can be a great choice if beautiful red locks run in baby’s family. For an extra touch, Sorrell can also connect your little one to nature, whether it’s through the red color of fallen leaves or the growing chestnuts on the trees.
