Morel is a very common French name. It has nothing to do with the mushroom of the same name, or with nightshade. It simply means "moor", a nickname given to those who were brown-skinned, black-haired and dark-eyed. Variants are "Moreau", "Morlon", "Morellet", etc.. It's a bit like the English name "Black" or "Blake".
