Marzelle is an uncommon, yet distinctive given name of French origin. It is derived from the French word 'marc,' meaning 'warlike' or 'martial,' and combines it with the suffix '-elle.' While its exact history is unclear, Marzelle is believed to have emerged as a female variant of the masculine names Marc or Marcel. It was rarely used outside France during the 20th century but has seen some limited use in recent years, perhaps due to its unique sound and connection to more common names.
