Rielle is English, French in Origin.
Rielle is a modern feminine name with a French-lilted -ielle ending. It is most often treated as a clipped or blended form of Gabrielle, Arielle, Brielle, or Urielle, all ultimately built on the Hebrew element El, "God." On that basis, Rielle is interpreted as "God is my strength" (by way of Gabrielle/Brielle) or, more broadly, "of God," while links to Arielle invite "lion of God." The spelling also mirrors the French-Canadian surname Riel, which helps explain its Francophone aura.
As a given name, Rielle is scarcely recorded before the late 20th century, gaining modest use in North America from the 1990s and entering wider awareness through media coverage of Rielle Hunter in 2008 and 2009. It remains uncommon yet on-trend among -elle/-ielle choices. Variants and close spellings include Raelle/Raëlle, Riele, and Riel; related forms are Brielle, Arielle, Gabrielle, and Urielle.
