History & Origin

Jodelle is a blended name, joining the Jo- of Joan or Josephine to the fashionable -elle ending and echoing Joelle, the feminine of the biblical Joel. It carries the light, coined feel of many mid-century girls' names.

It stayed rare, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its 1955 peak, with records into the 2010s. A girl named Jodelle then would be in her sixties today, and the closely related Joelle has been the more lasting choice.

Did you know? Jodelle sits beside Joelle and Rochelle among the -elle names that gave American girls' names a chic, French-sounding lift in the mid-twentieth century.
