Raphelle is Hebrew in Origin.

Raphelle is a modern feminine given name ultimately tracing to the Hebrew Raphael (Rafa'el), meaning "God has healed" or "God heals." It aligns with the French feminine Raphaëlle but streamlines spelling for English use, dropping the diaeresis and the internal a, yielding a sleek look while retaining the sense of divine healing associated with the archangel Raphael in Jewish and Christian tradition.

While Raphael has been used across Europe since the Middle Ages and gained visibility through the Renaissance painter, explicitly feminine forms spread more widely in the 19th–20th centuries. Raphelle remains rare, appearing sporadically in anglophone and some Francophone records from the late 20th century onward. Close variants include Raphaëlle/Raphaelle, Raphaella, Rafaela (Spanish/Portuguese), and Raffaella (Italian); related masculine forms are Raphael, Rafael, and Raffaele. Common short forms are Raph/Raffi and Elle/Ella. The name carries connotations of restoration, protection, and wellness.
