Louella Origin and Meaning
The name Louella is a girl's name of English origin.
A combo name that was used in the early 19th century, but has always been overshadowed by its sleeker counterpart, Luella. By blending Ella with Louise, Louella could mean "battle famous fairy maiden" and using the 'Lou' spelling means it remains more closely tied to Louise which may be more appealing to anyone hoping to use it as an honor.
Both spellings of Louella disappeared from the US Top 1000 back in the 1950s, but Luella has seen a revival in recent years and is now back on the charts. Louella isn't there yet, use of the name has doubled since 2020, and it is now given to around 140 babies each year.
