About Marella
Marella is an Italian name that feels at once unique and familiar, which may either be the best or worst of both worlds, depending on your preference.
Only a few dozen baby girls were named Marella or Marilla in the most recent year counted in the US, so this could make an unusual honor name for grandma Mary or Maria.
Pronounced mah-REL-ah.
As of October 2026, Marella ranked #10601 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3661 in 1970.
