Derived from the French Chanel. The name Ch'nell is primarily a female name of French origin that means Canal, or Medium, and is often an empath, mediator, or go-between and is often associated with the number 7. Can be stubborn or quick tempered but fights only to defend those they love. Is both non-traditional and inhabits Southern values. Can read people with the quickness, and if she isn't talking to you, it's because she picked up on a fake attitude. Classy, boogie, ratchet. Go-getter. Heart-breaker but always heart-broken. Can't keep a man but the men never leave. Slick mouth and their tongue is sword. Sarcastic but loving.

Often confused and autocorrected to "channel," like 'to change the channel,' but that is wrong. Pronounced like Chanel. Determined, kind, very funny, quick-witted, and highly intelligent. Michelle Obama in the streets and Cardi B in the sheets. They'll pray for you, but you can also catch those hands. Keeps their circle small.
