Nichelle by the numbers
Nichelle was given to 16 American babies in 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
Its American peak was 395 babies in 1968, so it is a 1960s name that has since fallen a long way.
What we can tell you about Nichelle
Not every name has a meaning to trace. Plenty are coined rather than inherited — invented outright, blended from two names, or respelled from an older one — and where we cannot find an etymology we can stand behind, we would rather say so than make one up. What follows comes from the birth records themselves.
