The history of the name Cammell begins with the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It is derived from the given name Camel, a variation of the Old Norse name Gamall. The surname Cammell is also of nickname origin and refers to a person who had physical characteristics similar to a camel. These characteristics could include awkwardness and ill-temper. The origin is also toponymic, which means that the bearers came from Queen Camel or West Camel, which were parishes in Somerset.

The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Cammell has been recorded under many different variations, including Camell, Cammel, Camel, Camule, Camyll, Gamyll, Cammell and many more.

First found in Somerset, where they held a family seat from ancient times.

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Cammell or a variant listed above:
