Carnell

Rooted in Latin, Carnell is a boy's name that means "Latin horn; or a place name". It has cooled since its 1950s peak, though it is still chosen today. As things stand now, it is a rare find in the registry. It has appeared in U.S. birth records in nearly every decade since 1900, a genuinely long run.
