What is the meaning of the name Jewelle ?

Jewelle is English in Origin.

Jewelle is a modern elaboration of Jewel/Jewell, used chiefly as a feminine given name. It comes from the English word jewel, via Middle English jewel and Old French jouel, ultimately from Medieval Latin jocale “plaything,” later “ornament.” The sense is “precious gem” and, by extension, “treasured one.” As a personal name, Jewel/Jewell rose in the late 19th and early 20th centuries during the vogue for gemstone and virtue names (Ruby, Pearl, Opal); Jewelle appears in U.S. records from the early 1900s but has remained rare, with occasional revivals alongside broader interest in vintage word-names.

While Jewell also exists as an English surname - sometimes tracing to the Breton/Welsh royal name Iudicael or the biblical Joel - the given name Jewelle typically follows the gemstone etymology. Variant spellings and near-forms include Jewel, Jewell, Juel, Juell, and Juelle; related semantic choices are Gemma, Jade, and Bijou. The name conveys brilliance, value, and affectionate esteem.
