Pamalla

Pamalla is a feminine name that represents a spelling variation of Pamela, which originated from Sir Philip Sidney's 16th-century pastoral poem 'Arcadia.' The original Pamela comes from Greek elements meaning 'all sweetness' or 'all honey.' This variant spelling with the double 'l' gives the classic name a unique twist while maintaining its recognizable sound. Pamalla emerged during the mid-20th century when alternative spellings became fashionable as a way to personalize traditional names. The name maintains the warm, friendly associations of Pamela while offering a slightly distinctive written form. Though less common than the standard spelling, Pamalla appeals to parents seeking a subtle variation on a familiar classic.
