Odelle is English, French in Origin.
Odelle is a rare feminine given name with dual roots. As a feminine elaboration of the English surname Odell, taken from the Bedfordshire place‑name, it goes back to Old English woad “dye-plant” + hill, yielding the sense “woad hill.” In parallel, Odelle aligns with French Odile/Odette, ultimately from Old High German od/odal “heritage, wealth,” so it can also be read as “prosperity” or “ancestral fortune.”
Used sporadically in Britain and North America from the late 19th century, Odelle peaked modestly between the 1910s and 1940s as an ornamental feminization of Odell, then receded, making it a vintage rarity today. Related forms and variants include Odell (unisex), Odella, Odele, Odile, Odilia, and Odette; short forms Dell, Della, and Elle suit everyday use. The name appeals to parents seeking an elegant -elle ending with historical depth yet understated familiarity.
