Erielle
Feminine
Erielle takes the -elle ending that French gives to a great many women's names and puts it on an opening that sounds like Erin and Ariel at once. Its last syllable carries something genuinely ancient, since the -el of Ariel and Gabriel is the Hebrew word for God, but the compound itself was made recently and here.

Erielle first appears in US birth records in 1989 — 36 years ago. The typical Erielle is a kid of about 11 — this name's wave is very recent. About 700 people named Erielle are estimated to be alive in the US today.

Our story of Erielle
There is a very productive American method here: take an ending that already signals a girl's name, and put it on an opening that sounds like something familiar without being it. The -elle ending arrived from French with Danielle, Michelle and Gabrielle, all of which are real feminines of real names; by the nineteen-nineties it had come loose and could be added to anything. Erielle is one of the more graceful results, since it lands close enough to Ariel to borrow its associations while being nobody else's name.
Meaningnot established
Not established
Not documented as a whole. Ariel is genuine Hebrew, lion of God, and appears in Isaiah as a name for Jerusalem. The French -elle is a diminutive ending, as in Danielle and Gabrielle. Erielle joins the look of both without descending from either, and no source records it.
Pronouncing Erielle
air-ee-ELL
Three syllables with the stress at the end. Some families say ee-ree-ELL with a long first vowel, and the spelling supports both.

The Dawnya test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Erielle's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Dawnya climbed just as high around 1970, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Dawnya's path sketches the road Erielle is walking now.
