Notes

Total is the total number of people with that surname.
Rank is the position in the list of names ordered by total (eg, a rank of 1 means that it's the most common name, and a rank of 10 means it's the tenth most common, etc).
Frequency is the percentage of people with that surname.
Per million people is the number of people with that surname per million of the population.

'A figure of zero indicates that we don't have data for this name (usually because it's quite uncommon and our stats don't go down that far). It doesn't mean that there's no-one with that name at all!

For less common surnames, the figures get progressively less reliable the fewer holders of that name there are. This data is aggregated from several public lists, and some stats are interpolated from known values. The margin of error is well over 100% at the rarest end of the table!

For less common surnames, the frequency and "per million" values may be 0 even though there are people with that name. That's because they represent less than one in a million of the population, which ends up as 0 after rounding.

It's possible for a surname to gain in rank and/or total while being less common per million people (or vice versa) as there are now more surnames in the USA as a result of immigration. In mathematical terms, the tail has got longer, with a far larger number of less common surnames.

Figures for top states show firstly the states where most people called MORELL live. This obviously tends to be biased towards the most populous states. The second set of figures show where people called MORELL represent the biggest proportion of the population. So, in this case, there are more people called MORELL in Florida than any other state, but you are more likely to find a MORELL by picking someone at random in Florida than anywhere else.

Meaning of MORELL in historical publications

MORELL. " The sreat grandfathers of Dr. Morell LLD., who died at Bath in 1 810 both paternally and maternally were Huguenots, who resided in the province of Champagne, in France. At tlie memorable era of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, these confessors were imprisoned, their goods confiscated, and there is reason to believe that they eventually suffered martyrdom. Of one of them it is related, that during his impi'isonment he was the means of coufirming the faith of his fellow-i)risoners by his discourses, and that he was accustomed to preach to the inhabitants of the town in which he was immured through the grating of his dungeon. Each of these admirable men left an infant son, whose respective names were Daniel Morel and Stephen Conte, and who, as it will presently appear, wei'e the great-grandfathers of Dr. Morell. During a dreadful day of persecution, when blood was streaming in the streets, and the Protestants were fleeing from the sword, two soldiei's entered a liouse, and after having killed some of the inmates, seeing an infant lying in the cradle, one of them, with his sword, pierced it, and the blood gushed forth. — its life, Iiowever, was saved ; it was snatched up by some one, who remarked that The hale at least was not a Protestant, and it was taken and
