Our story of Wynelle
Families of an earlier generation loved names that ended in a soft -elle and names that began with a W, and Wynelle joins them. Its Wyn- can be heard as the Welsh wyn, fair, and its ending as the French for she, but no one recorded what its first family intended. It is a quiet, pretty name, and it has been given rarely enough to keep its freshness.
