Zellda Origin and Meaning

The name Zellda is a girl's name.

Zellda is a feminine name that serves as a variant spelling of Zelda, which itself derives from Germanic origins meaning 'gray fighting maid' or 'blessed woman'. The double 'l' spelling gives Zellda a distinctive appearance while maintaining the same pronunciation. Zelda gained recognition through association with Zelda Fitzgerald, wife of author F. Scott Fitzgerald, and later through the popular video game series 'The Legend of Zelda'. This alternative spelling remains quite rare, offering uniqueness while still connecting to the more familiar form. Zellda has a bold, vivacious quality with its punchy 'Z' beginning and melodic flow. The name carries a vintage charm with modern appeal across different cultural contexts.
