History & Origin

A twentieth-century American elaboration, Renelle takes Renee, the French feminine of Latin 'renatus' (reborn), and adds the fashionable -elle suffix. It belongs to a wave of coined -elle names that felt fresh and pretty to parents in the nineteen-forties and fifties.

Renelle was only about fifteen a year even at its peak in the late nineteen-forties and never climbed higher, fading gradually afterward. It reads today as a period piece from the -elle era rather than a name poised for a comeback.

Did you know? Renelle rode the same mid-century fashion for -elle endings that gave American parents Danielle, Rochelle and Chantelle, making a familiar sound feel a touch more formal.
