Rushelle

US Popularity Rank: 11896

Origin: French

Meaning: Ewe; Little rock

Ewe heard it here first: Rushelle is a lovely name fit for a little lamb. Although the origins of this feminine moniker are not completely certain, it is likely a variant of Rachelle or Rochelle. Rachelle is a version of Rachel which comes from the Hebrew name meaning “ewe.” It is known for being the moniker of Jacob’s favorite wife in the Old Testament. Rochelle comes from the city in France, La Rochelle, which signifies “little rock.” Although baby Rushelle might only be the size of a pebble right now, soon they will be born into this world, ready to meet you. Ewe will certainly be lucky to have them as part of your herd.
