Orrelle is in Origin.

Orrelle is a rare given name with layered origins. Most directly, it reads as a modern -elle elaboration of the English surname Orrell (from Lancashire place-names), derived from Old English ōra “bank, slope” + hyll “hill,” yielding the topographic sense “hill-slope” or “ridge by a bank.” In Francophone contexts, the spelling echoes Orelle (a commune in Savoie) and overlaps in form with Aurelle/Aurèle from Latin aurum “gold,” giving Orrelle a secondary “golden” association. Some contemporary bearers also link it to Hebrew Orel (Or + El), interpreted as “light of God.”

As a forename, Orrel/Orrell surfaces sporadically in 18th–20th‑century Britain and North America, often unisex; Orrelle, the embellished form, is a late‑20th‑century rarity chosen for its elegant cadence. Variants and relatives include Orrel, Orrell, Orel, Orelle, Oriel, Aurelle/Aurèle, and Aurélie, with Orrelle today skewing feminine in usage.
