Murielle

Murielle is a French feminine form of the Celtic name Muriel, derived from roots related to the Old Irish muir, meaning sea, and geal, meaning bright or white, giving the overall sense of bright sea. The name was brought into wider medieval usage in England and France through Breton and Norman influence following the eleventh century. Notable bearers include the French poet Murielle Szac, while the name remains associated with French-speaking cultures.
