Buel
Germanic origin
“A short, punchy surname-style given name with Germanic roots, possibly related to 'Beuel' or diminutive forms of longer names. Buel has a no-nonsense, frontier quality that appeals to parents seeking brief, strong-sounding names. It sits at the intersection of practical and distinctive.”
