Carmiela Origin and Meaning

The name Carmiela is a girl's name.

Carmiela is a feminine name representing an elaborate variation of Carmela or Carmen, both of which derive from the Hebrew name Carmel meaning 'garden' or 'vineyard of God.' The name has connections to Mount Carmel in Israel, a location of biblical significance. Carmiela adds a distinctive, melodic quality to the more common Carmela through its additional syllable. While maintaining its Hebrew and Latin roots, this variation creates a more uncommon option that still carries the warmth and cultural richness of its origins. The name has particular resonance in Jewish and Italian communities but remains quite rare. Carmiela conveys images of natural beauty and spiritual abundance through its connection to gardens and vineyards, offering a name with both depth and aesthetic appeal.
