I'm not really interested in what the surname Wrhel means, but I'd like to know where it's from. I don't know anything about it.

Thanks.

If it helps, I've heard it pronounced WURL, like the word "whirl."

The name also exists in the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany and Australia. Originally the name Wrhel was spelled Vrhel, which originates from Bohemia.

Sometimes the surname Urhel is cited as Vrhel, so this could be a variation spelling of the same name.
