Ruelle

Famous wolf or little stream

Ruelle is a rare name with two primary etymological paths. It is often considered a French diminutive of names like Ruelle or a variant of the Germanic name Roel, meaning 'famous wolf.' Alternatively, it can be interpreted as a topographic name from the French word for a 'small street' or 'lane,' or linked to the Hebrew word for 'friend of God' via the name Reuel.
