History & Origin
Jeweline is an American elaboration of Jewel, the word-name from the Old French joel, 'precious stone.' The added -ine ending, popular in the early twentieth century, lifts it toward names like Emmeline and Jacqueline. It appears thinly in US records of that era and never rose far.
It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak around 1929. A girl named Jeweline then would have been born in the 1920s.
