Raschelle

Raschelle is an English elaboration of Rachel, a name rooted in the Hebrew Rāḥēl, meaning ewe or female sheep. The name Rachel itself has ancient biblical associations, most notably as the beloved wife of Jacob in the Hebrew scriptures. Raschelle represents a modern, ornamental spelling variant that adds a French-influenced prefix, giving the name a more distinctive appearance. Related forms include Rachelle, Rachael, and the traditional Rachel.
