Idelle is in Origin.
Idelle is an English given name most often explained as an embellished form of Ida, built with the French feminine suffix -elle. Ida goes back to Old High German id, meaning work or industriousness, so Idelle carries the sense of “industrious one.” Some sources also link Idelle to the Yiddish name Eidel/Idel, from German edel “noble, refined,” an association that has influenced spellings and occasionally the name’s interpretation.
Used in English-speaking countries from the late 19th century, Idelle enjoyed modest currency in the United States during the 1910s–1930s before slipping into rarity, placing it today among vintage revivals. Variant forms include Idella, Idell, and Idela; related staples are Ida (Germanic/Scandinavian) and the French-styled Adelle/Adele as phonetic cousins rather than direct cognates. Short forms such as Ide, Dell, and Della appear in historical records, underscoring the name’s turn-of-the-century charm.
