Ardala is in Origin.

Ardala is a rare feminine given name whose form suggests multiple influences. It can be read as a feminized companion to the Irish name Ardal (from Old Irish árd “high” + gal “valor”), yielding the sense “high valor.” English ears may also hear echoes of Ardelle/Ardella and Ardelia, names associated with the idea “ardent,” ultimately linked by folk etymology to Latin ardere “to burn.”

While scarcely recorded before the late 20th century, Ardala gained wider recognition through science-fiction - most notably Princess Ardala in Buck Rogers - yet it remains uncommon in official statistics. Spelling and related variants include Ardella, Ardelle, Ardelia, and the shorter Arda; nicknames Ardi and Dala are intuitive. In broader onomastic families it sits near Ardal (m.), Ardith, and Arden. Its blend of brisk consonants and lyrical -a ending gives it a modern, adventurous feel balanced by older Celtic and English roots.
