Lunelle is in Origin.

Lunelle blends the French lune, from Latin luna “moon,” with the feminine suffix -elle, yielding the luminous sense of “little moon” or “moonlike.” The -elle ending functions as a gentle diminutive in French, so the name feels both delicate and celestial, aligning it with the wider European lunar tradition that includes Latin Luna and Greek Selene.

As a given name, Lunelle is rare and modern, appearing sporadically in Francophone and Anglophone communities from the late 20th century onward. It likely arose as a French-styled elaboration of Luna or as an independent coinage built on lune. Related forms and near-variants include Lunella and Lunette/Lunetta; cognates and companions are Luna, Selene, and the French Lune. Short forms and nicknames include Nell, Nelle, and Lulu. Though scarcely represented on national charts, Lunelle appeals to parents seeking a distinctive, softly radiant moon name.
