Magnol is a variant of the name Magnier, that ultimately comes from the germanic terms "magin" meaning strength + "hard" meaning hard or "hari" meaning army. The spelling "magnier", especially the presence of the "gn", is supposed to have been influenced by the latin word "magnus" meaning great. In my opinion, Magnol is a provençal variant of Magnier.
