Unique Celebrity Baby Names

Jonelle is a feminine name that emerged as a blend of John (Hebrew for 'God is gracious') and the feminine suffix -elle, creating a distinctive female variant of this traditionally male name. It gained modest popularity in the United States during the 1950s through 1970s, reflecting the trend of creating feminine versions of masculine names during that era. Jonelle has a melodic quality with its soft ending while maintaining a certain strength from its root name. Though never extremely common, it appeals to parents seeking a name that balances familiarity with uniqueness. The name has occasionally appeared in popular culture, helping maintain its recognition without becoming overused.

Cielle is a French name inspired by the word ciel, meaning "sky". Not used in France itself, spelling it with the -elle ending makes it feel both more feminine and more "name-y". The name might also be considered a short form of Cecilia or a variant of the Ancient Roman Caelius.

While the Ciel spelling is used as a unisex name in the US, Cielle has been given exclusively to girls since it first made the charts in the early 2000s. Given to a small handful of girls each year until 2022, the name then doubled in popularity in 2023, when it was given to 36 girls.
