Lämmel

Lämmel is a surname of German origin. It is derived from the Middle High German word "lam," meaning "lamb," and the diminutive suffix "-el." Therefore, Lämmel literally translates to "little lamb."

The surname likely originated as a nickname, possibly for a gentle or meek person, or someone who cared for sheep. It could also be a habitational name, referring to someone who lived near a field where lambs grazed.

The name is primarily found in Germany and surrounding regions. Variations in spelling may include Laemmel.
