Andriela is Greek, Spanish in Origin.
Andriela is a feminine elaboration of the Andrew/Andreas name family, ultimately from Greek Andreas, derived from andreios "manly, brave." The -ela ending aligns with Romance and Slavic diminutive patterns seen in Gabriela and Mariela, suggesting parallel formation in Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking communities and occasional adoption in Eastern Europe. Its meaning is interpreted today as "strong" or "courageous."
The name appears rarely in records, emerging in the late 20th century as an inventive alternative to Andrea/Andreia and as a cousin to Andriella or Andrielle. While not tied to a distinct tradition, it inherits the broad cultural footprint of Saint Andrew, whose cult spread variants of Andreas across Europe. Related forms include Andrea, Andreea (Romanian), Andreia (Portuguese), Andreina (Italian/Spanish), Andriana/Andrijana (Slavic), Andriella/Andrielle, and Andrella. Possible nicknames: Andi/Andie, Ella, Dri, and Riela.
Andriela is far from common. In all, it turns up just 18 times, across 4 countries.
