Personally, I like the spelling "Terrell" (pronounced tir-ELL), which you may recall from the Broncos running back of the same first name. Ya know, the one whose mama, Mrs. Davis, serves up the chunky soup?

I hope you don't mind me jumping in:)? I found a few sites with the name Tyrel (spelled a few different ways)--most of them state that it was originally a surname, probably derived from the Old French "tirer", meaning "to pull"--it was used in the context of an animal pulling against the reins, and when applied to humans, eventually was regarded as meaning "obstinate" or "stubborn". (If I'm totally off-base, feel free to correct me;)) Hope that helped:)!
Here are a few of the sites I checked:

I thought I've heard Tyrel before. Maybe I'm thinking of Tyrone?

I dont really like that name, but other unique names like that are,
Thomas(you dont hear that name very often)
Tyson
and Taylor
