Terelle
Terelle Origin and Meaning
Terelle is a modern name with several possible derivations. It may be a variant of Terrell, a surname that became a given name, with origins in Old French 'Thirel,' meaning 'stubborn' or 'obstinate.' Alternatively, it could be a variation of Tyrrell, an Anglo-Norman name derived from the French place name Tirel. The feminine spelling with the final 'e' distinguishes it from the traditionally masculine Terrell. The name appeared in U.S. naming records in the late 20th century but has remained relatively uncommon. Terelle has a melodic quality with the stress typically on the second syllable. While not among the most widely used names, it appeals to parents seeking a distinctive name with a contemporary sound while maintaining connections to more established naming traditions. Regional usage patterns show scattered adoption across the United States.
