Rhyelle is a recent American coinage with no older tradition of its own. Its front borrows the look of Welsh Rhys; its close borrows the graceful -elle of Danielle, Giselle, and Estelle. The routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'ry-EL').
It appears only rarely in U.S. records. Rare, sleek, and modern.
Did you know? Rhyelle is a modern blend — the Welsh-looking Rhy- of Rhys paired with the French -elle of Danielle. The whole is new, which we note (said 'ry-EL').
