Zellah Origin and Meaning

The name Zellah is a girl's name.

Zellah is a unique feminine name with Hebrew roots. It is a variant of Zelda or Zella, which derived from the Germanic name Griselda, meaning 'gray fighting maid', or potentially from the Hebrew name Zelda meaning 'blessed' or 'happiness'. Throughout history, Zellah has remained relatively uncommon, giving it a distinctive quality. The name appears briefly in the Bible as one of Lamech's wives, adding to its ancient heritage. In modern usage, Zellah remains a rare choice for parents seeking something traditional yet distinctive, with a soft, melodic sound that combines the trendy 'Z' initial with a gentle ending.
