Lemel is a new name for me. According to Beider it is based on Lambert, a name of old Germanic origin, and borrowed from the Christians.
Lemel  was reinterpreted, in folk etymology, as a little lamb from the Yiddish noun lamb.

He also writes that for unclear reasons  Lemel is used as a Kinnui for Asher.
