Origin of Imel Total Records: 2  Origin of Imel, Meaning of Imel Origin: Most of us have gotten one of those mail-in heraldry reports that say Kimmel means 'one who gathers caraway seeds.' And Kimmel (actually K?mmel) is the German word for caraway. As a matter of fact, several of the coats-of-arms awarded to K?mmels in public positions in Kassel, Hessen state, Germany, had the caraway plant or a figure holding a caraway plant on them.%0aHowever, the word Kimmel and surname Kimmel evolved separately. Professor Hermann K?mmell's report in the Deutsches Geschlechterbuch (Vol. 66, which offers the lineage for J. Michael Kimmel's ancestors back to Dilmanus Kumel of c.1391 Neuenkerken) cites the research of the then-renowned German genealogist, Dr. Schoener of Marburg. See Website for more information.
