Niele is English, Gaelic in Origin.
Niele has two distinct roots. In Hawaiian, Nīele (commonly written Niele without the macron) is a vocabulary name meaning inquisitive, curious, or prone to asking many questions. As with many modern Hawaiian given names drawn from native words, it gained wider use during the 20th‑century Hawaiian cultural revival and is used for any gender. Variant: Nīele (standard Hawaiian spelling); Anglicized: Niele.
Separately, Niele appears in Italian as a familiar short form of Daniele (Daniel), ultimately from Hebrew Daniyyel, “God is my judge.” It functions as a nickname turned standalone name and is documented in Italo‑Swiss use (e.g., painter Niele Toroni). Related and longer forms include Daniele, Daniela, Danielle, and Daniel; close diminutives include Niel. Today, Niele appeals for its compact, lyrical sound and the choice of meanings - either the lively curiosity of Hawaiian nīele or the Biblical assurance of Daniel.
