Rhondelle is English, Welsh in Origin.
Rhondelle is a modern elaboration of Rhonda formed with the French-influenced feminine suffix -elle. Rhonda itself comes from the Welsh place-name Rhondda, borne by a river and valley in south Wales; scholars connect it to Welsh rhon "spear" and da "good," often glossed as "good spear," though some see a broader sense of "spear/arms" or even "noise." The base name surged in the mid-20th century in the English-speaking world, and Rhondelle arose later as a rarer, ornamental variant, found particularly in the Caribbean and North America from the late 20th century.
Variants and related forms include Rhonda, Ronda, Rhondda, Rhondella, Rhondel (also masculine), and Rondelle/Rondell. Possible nicknames are Rhon, Rhonnie, Della, and Elle. The implied meaning combines the martial strength of "spear" with the graceful -elle ending, giving a distinctive yet rooted choice.
Rhondelle doesn't appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. That's typically a sign of a rare name, a regional or traditional one, or a modern coinage. Either way, it remains a genuinely rare choice.
