Cantrella Origin and Meaning

The name Cantrella is a girl's name.

Cantrella is a rare feminine name with possible Italian or fabricated origins. The name may be a feminine elaboration of 'Cantrell,' an English surname derived from the Old French word 'chanterelle,' referring to a small bell or a type of singing bird. Alternatively, it could be inspired by the musical term 'cantare' (to sing) with a decorative ending. Cantrella has a melodic quality with its flowing syllables and musical associations. The name remains exceptionally uncommon, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking originality. Its lyrical sound pattern fits with other -ella names (Isabella, Gabriella) while offering a unique alternative. The name suggests an artistic, musical personality with its rhythmic cadence.
