MEANING & HISTORY
What does Jonelle mean?
Jonelle is documented as a feminine form of John. The editorial source supplies this specific formation where the short English dictionary entry records only the personal-name use.
The older Hebrew background concerns divine grace. The -elle ending creates the later feminine form; it is not an additional ancient word that changes the whole name into a new sentence. Jonelle remains distinct from Janelle, which has its own immediate formation through Jane, even though both belong to the wider John family.
