History & Origin
Jewelle is an ornamented form of Jewel, itself the everyday word for a precious stone, from the Old French joel. It belongs to the gemstone and treasure names, alongside Ruby, Pearl and Opal. The doubled ending gives Jewel a slightly French, more formal look while keeping its bright, valued meaning.
Jewelle was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its faint peak in the late nineteen-nineties, and it appeared only lightly across the century. A girl named Jewelle at that peak is in her late twenties today.
