What does Ansel mean? Ansel [ansel] as a boys' name is pronounced AN-sul. It is of Old French origin, and the meaning of Ansel is follower of a nobleman. Also variant of Anselm (Old German) God's helmet. Use is likely to refer to photographer Ansel Adams, who photographed the American wilderness so eloquently.
John Szarkowski states in the introduction to Ansel Adams: Classic Images (1985, p. 5), The love that Americans poured out for the work and person of Ansel Adams during his old age, and that they have continued to express with undiminished enthusiasm since his death, is an extraordinary phenomenon, perhaps even unparalleled in our country's response to a visual artist.
