History & Origin

Racquelle takes the glamorous Raquel - the Spanish and French form of biblical Rachel - and adds letters that give it a French -elle flourish reminiscent of Rochelle. The meaning stays with Rachel, Hebrew for 'ewe,' a soft pastoral image borne by the matriarch of Genesis.

Racquelle was never common in America, given to only about fourteen girls a year even at its peak in the mid-nineteen-nineties and just over a hundred in total. A girl named Racquelle then is around thirty today, riding the same Raquel vogue the actress Raquel Welch had long kept alive.

Did you know? Behind Racquelle's fancy spelling is one of the oldest names in the Bible: Rachel, the beloved wife of Jacob, whose name means 'ewe,' a young female sheep.
