      The name Orenthal, though originating from America, bears an unknown meaning. Its roots can be traced back to the United States, where it gained prominence in the twentieth century. While the exact origins of the name remain uncertain, it is believed to have emerged as a modern American invention.

      Despite the lack of historical records shedding light on its etymology, the name Orenthal has found its place in both history and contemporary usage. Notably, Orenthal James Simpson, a former professional American football player, brought significant attention to this name. Born in 1947, Simpson rose to fame as a running back in the National Football League (NFL) during the 1970s. Following his football career, Simpson became embroiled in a highly publicized criminal trial involving the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
