What the Data Says About Marchel

The Social Security Administration has registered 73 babies named Marchel between 1956 and 1972, spanning 17 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Marchel currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1972. The name reached its historical peak in 1967, when 12 babies received it in a single year. Marchel is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 56 additional births since 1916.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Marchel performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 40 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Marchel shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Marchel in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 73 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
