Cielle
Meaning of Cielle
Cielle is a feminine given name of French derivation, tracing its roots to the noun ciel, meaning “sky,” and distinguished by the addition of a feminine orthographic element that confers phonetic clarity and aesthetic distinction within Anglo-American naming conventions. Pronounced see-EL (/siːl/), the name has exhibited modest yet consistent usage in the United States, increasing from five recorded instances in 2018 (rank 952) to thirty-eight in 2024 (rank 912), and thereby exemplifying a gradual upward trend among newborn girls. From an onomastic standpoint, Cielle aligns with contemporary preferences for elaborated forms characterized by transparent phonology, while semantically it evokes the vastness, elevation, and serenity of the celestial realm without resorting to overtly ornate imagery. Although it remains outside the highest tiers of the Social Security Administration’s annual list, its incremental gains signal a growing affinity among parents for a name that synthesizes refined European heritage and modern innovation.
