Marselle
Marselle Origin and Meaning
Marselle is a feminine name that appears to be a variant of Marcelle, the French feminine form of Marcellus, ultimately derived from Mars, the Roman god of war. The name may also be influenced by the French city of Marseille. With its French aesthetic and melodic sound, Marselle carries an air of sophistication and continental charm. The name has never been common in English-speaking countries but offers an intriguing alternative to more familiar Marcel/Marcella variations. The soft ending gives it a distinctly feminine quality while maintaining the strength of its martial origins. Marselle might appeal to parents seeking a name with European flair that remains recognizable but uncommon. The name lends itself to nicknames like Mars, Marcy, or Elle.
