Connelle is Irish in Origin.

Connelle is a modern Anglicized variant of the Irish Gaelic name Conall, from Old Irish cú "hound" (often glossed as "wolf") and gal "valor, prowess," yielding the sense "hound of valor" or "strong warrior." The root appears in early Irish legend and hagiography, most famously the Ulster hero Conall Cernach and several early medieval saints, giving the name a longstanding heroic and devotional resonance in Ireland and Scotland. As a given name, related forms traveled with the Irish diaspora, while the surname O'Connell (Ó Conaill) kept the root visible in public life.

Spelled with a final -e, Connelle reads as a contemporary elaboration, sometimes chosen to soften Connell or to echo feminine forms like Noelle; it remains rare and generally considered unisex. Close variants include Conall, Conal, Connell, Connelly, and Conley; diminutives or nicknames include Con and Connie. The broader con + gal name-family also underlies Conghalach, source of Connelly/Conneely.
