Gwenaelle

Typically spelled Gwenaëlle in its native France and Brittany, Gwenaelle is the feminine form of Gwenael, made up of the elements gwenn meaning blessed, and hael meaning "generous". While it fell out of style in France back in the 2000s, with the likes of Sylvie and Margot appealing in English speaking countries, Gwenaelle might make an unexpected choice and a way to nicknames Nell and Gwen.

Pronounced gwen-ah-EL.

As of October 2026, Gwenaelle ranked #18288 for girls in US births in 2009 SSA.
