Seychelle is in Origin.
Seychelle is a modern given name drawn from the Indian Ocean nation of Seychelles; the islands were named Îles de Séchelles in the 18th century to honor French statesman Jean Moreau de Séchelles. As a result, the name has French toponymic roots rather than an inherited lexical meaning. In English, its sound often evokes sea-and-shell imagery, lending it a breezy, tropical feel, but this is a folk association rather than the name’s etymology.
Use as a personal name emerged in the late 20th century and remains rare, seen chiefly in the United States and other English-speaking countries. Notable bearer: American actress Seychelle Gabriel. Variant spellings include Sechelle and, very occasionally, the plural Seychelles as a given name. Short forms and nicknames include Chelle, Elle, and Shelly. Related in style (not origin) are -chelle names such as Michelle, Rochelle, and Nichelle.
