History & Origin
Airelle can be traced to the French airelle, a bilberry, which places it among gentle nature names, while its sound also suggests an elaboration of Ariel, Hebrew for lion of God. It is a rare name in United States records from the late 1980s, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high near 1989, and it never became common.
Whether chosen for the French berry or the Ariel echo, Airelle reads as an airy, modern-sounding name rather than a vintage one. A girl given it near its brief high is now in her thirties, and it has stayed a niche, uncommon choice rather than a revival.
