Meaning and history
Marcelle is the French feminine form of Marcel. Marcel derives from the Roman family name Marcellus, a diminutive of Marcus. Marcus is traditionally associated with Mars, the Roman god of war, though its exact etymology is uncertain. Saint Marcellus and related Christian figures helped preserve the name family. Notable bearers include Canadian abstract painter Marcelle Ferron and French singer Marcelle Lender, famously portrayed by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
