Christelle is French in Origin.
Christelle is a modern French feminine name formed from the Christian name family (Christine/Christiane) with the feminine suffix -elle. It ultimately goes back to Latin Christina/Christianus and Greek Christos, “anointed,” yielding the meaning “follower of Christ” or “belonging to Christ.” Its soft -elle ending gives it a distinctly French cadence while keeping the same devotional sense as its older cognates.
The name came into wider use in France after World War II, peaking from the 1960s through the 1980s, and later traveled through the Francophone world (Belgium, Quebec, the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean). Spellings and variants include Christel, Chrystelle, Cristelle, Krystel/Krystelle, and the Dutch/Estonian Kristel; closely related are Christine, Christina, Christiane, Christa, and Kristen. English speakers sometimes conflate it with Crystal, though the etymologies differ. Common short forms are Chris and Chrissie.
