Etymology
The name is derived from the church Latin Nigellus. This word was at first assumed to be derived from the classical Latin nigellus (meaning dark). However, this is now considered an example of an incorrect etymology passed down and created by French-speaking , who knew Latin as well and translated the first name Neel to Latin written documents, as was conventional in Western Europe at the time. The Latin word nigellus gave birth to neel (modern nielle), meaning ", black enamel"; and this explains the confusion with Nigel, because the clerics believed it was the same etymology as the first name Neel, spelled the same way. Origine et histoire des noms de famille, , editions errance, 2002. p 119-120.

However Nigel, via medieval Latin Nigellus and subsequently Norman Neel (modern surname Néel), and Norse Njáll, is ultimately derived from the Gaelic Irish given name .
