Cyrielle is French, Greek in Origin.

Cyrielle is a French feminine form in the Cyril name family, ultimately from Greek Kyrillos, the earliest attested form behind English Cyril and French Cyrille. Kyrillos is built on Greek kyrios, lord, master, with the personal-name ending -illos; in French, Cyrille gained the feminine suffix -elle. The literal sense is therefore lordly or belonging to the Lord, depending on whether the Greek root is read socially or in its Christian devotional setting.

The masculine name was carried by major saints, especially Cyril of Alexandria and Cyril, missionary to the Slavs with Methodius, which helped spread Cyril/Cyrille across Christian Europe. Cyrielle is chiefly Francophone and much rarer than Cyrille, appearing as a modern feminine elaboration rather than a medieval standard. Related feminine forms include Cyrilla, Cirila, Ciriaca, Kyriake, and Italian Cirilla; English normally uses Cyril for the masculine line. In the United States it has remained outside national rankings, with only scattered registrations.
