Meaning & origin

Davelle is a rare and modern American name that first appeared on the Social Security Administration's records in 1981. Its peak year of usage was 1995, after which it became even more uncommon. The name has never reached a rank on the national top 1,000, and its one-in-N occurrence is too low to calculate statistically. It has remained stable in its low usage, with no sign of revival. Davelle is likely a creative coinage blending David with the popular -elle suffix (as in Danielle or Isabelle). The name has not been concentrated in any particular state, further underscoring its scattered and modest presence.

Davelle appears to be a modern invented name, likely formed by blending elements of David (Hebrew 'beloved') and the fashionable suffix -elle (from names like Danielle or Isabelle). It first appeared in U.S. records in 1981, but its usage has remained rare and sporadic.
