Hi Yahalome,

there's a German surname Hartel (just one l), which derives from Old German first names beginning or ending with Hart-/-hart. The Old German word "harti" means hard, strong. The suffix -l is from Southern Germany.
Regards, Judith

my last names Hartell with 2 LL's, are you saying my last name is mis-spelt? or wrong? by default.
