Schapelle
Does anyone know the history, meaning, origin or anything about this name?
My brother was wondering as he's doing a project on Schapelle Corby the alledged Australian drug smuggler in Bali.
She seems to be caucasion Australian, 20s, female. Her parents probably wanted her to have a unique name.

Perhaps she was named after the famous Sainte Chapelle in Paris. The initial S could be short for Sainte or could just be to make sure people pronouced it correctly.
