Richelle

Richelle Origin and Meaning

The name Richelle is a girl's name.

Richelle is a feminine name of French origin, created as a feminine form of Richard, meaning 'brave power' or 'strong ruler.' This elegant name gained modest popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, appealing to parents seeking a sophisticated feminine name with traditional roots. The '-elle' suffix adds a soft, feminine quality to the strong foundation of Richard. While never reaching top-tier popularity, Richelle has maintained consistent usage across decades, often appreciated for its balance of familiarity and distinction. The name projects confidence and refinement while remaining accessible. Internationally, variations appear in several European languages, though the Richelle spelling is most common in English-speaking countries.
