What is the meaning of the name Amarylla ?

Amarylla is Greek in Origin.

Amarylla is a contemporary, embellished form of Amaryllis, ultimately from Greek Amaryllis (Amaryllís), linked to the verb amarysso “to sparkle, to shine.” The name entered the Western imagination through bucolic poetry - Theocritus and Virgil used Amaryllis for an idealized beloved - and later through the flowering bulb Amaryllis, whose showy blooms popularized the name in the 18th–19th-century botanical vogue. Its core meaning evokes brightness, freshness, and radiant beauty.

Variants and cognates include Amaryllis (English/Greek), Amarilis (Spanish, Portuguese), Amarylis (Polish, Lithuanian), Amarilys (Caribbean Spanish), and Amarilla (a Spanish form influenced by amarillo, “yellow”). Short forms range from Amy and Mara to Rilla and Lila. Amarylla itself is rare but increasingly seen in English-speaking countries as a lyrical, nature-tinged alternative that preserves the classical roots and floral symbolism of “splendid beauty,” pride, and determination associated with the amaryllis flower.
