That's quite possible. When I saw her name for the first time, the first thought that actually occurred to me was that she had to be either Polish or of Polish ancestry. The Polish "version" of the name would be "Jagiel\l\o", one of those names that are immediately associated with the Polish nobility. "Yaguello" is obviously a French representation of that name, which makes me believe that her ancestors and not herself moved to France.
