History

Etymology

From being a channel.

Named after the Channel Islands, from where settlers once came from, in the early 18th-century. The Channel Islands are located in the English Channel, a strait (channel) separating the island of Great Britain from the coast of mainland Europe.

From Middle English chanel (also as canel, cannel, kanel), a borrowing from Old French chanel, canel, from Latin canālis (“groove; canal; channel”). Doublet of canal.

From chainwale.

From Middle English chanelen, from the noun (see above).
