Meaning & Story
An Americanized spelling of the German surname Drexler, from an occupational name for a wood-turner — carrying a distinguished, slightly old-world sound.
Drexel is a name with old-money resonance — the kind that sounds like a Pennsylvania prep school or a distinguished old building with ivy on the walls. For a dignified, well-bred dog who seems to have opinions about furnishings, Drexel has the perfect combination of gravitas and slightly eccentric charm.
