Ellah

Ellah is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Ella, a name with Germanic origins meaning 'fairy maiden' or 'all, completely.' This alternative spelling adds a distinctive touch while maintaining the original name's simple elegance. Ella has experienced significant popularity in English-speaking countries since the early 2000s, and Ellah emerged as parents sought ways to personalize this beloved classic. The added 'h' gives the name a slightly more elaborate appearance while preserving its sweet, melodic sound. Though much less common than its traditional counterpart, Ellah appeals to parents attracted to Ella's vintage charm but desiring something a bit more unique. The name's simplicity and gentle sound contribute to its delicate, feminine appeal.

Pronounced EL-uh.
