Chennelle, derived from the French 'Chen' meaning 'little wren', is a unique and charming given name of recent origin. It was coined by author Anne Rice for her daughter in the late 1970s and has since gained popularity as an unusual yet endearing choice for parents seeking something distinctive.
"The name Chennelle experienced two peaks of popularity with five births each in 1987 and 1989, resulting in a total of ten babies named Chennelle over these two years."
