Meaning: Sea nymph; Shining sea

Merielle is a feminine name of Irish origin that means "sea nymph." A variation of the more common Meriel, Merielle is composed of two Celtic elements- mer, meaning "sea," and eriel, meaning "nymph." Alternatively, in Gaelic traditions, this name translates to "shining sea." Both interpretations have connotations of natural beauty, wonder, and a deep connection to the earth, making Merielle the perfect option for an ethereal little one.
