Ansel

Ansel is a distinguished name with Germanic roots, meaning 'with divine protection'. It exudes a certain artistic flair, partly thanks to the legendary photographer Ansel Adams, whose stunning black-and-white landscapes captured the imagination of many. This name strikes a balance between a rich historical background and a contemporary appeal. While not overly common, it is cherished by those who prefer names that are both meaningful and unique. Ansel is closely related to Anselm, but with a simpler, more modern sound, and potential nicknames include Annie or Sel.
