Arella is Hebrew in Origin.
Arella most plausibly derives from Hebrew via Ariella/Ariela, feminine forms of Ariel. Ariel combines ari (“lion”) and el (“God”), yielding “lion of God,” and in the Bible also serves as a poetic title for Jerusalem meaning “altar/hearth of God.” Arella trims the medial i, producing a softer, lilting shape while preserving the core sense.
As a given name, Arella rose in the late 20th century alongside Arielle/Ariella in Israel, the United States, and other English- and Romance-speaking countries, favored for its blend of vintage Ella and Hebrew heritage. Variant spellings and cognates include Ariella, Ariela, Arielle (French-influenced), and Ariele (Italian). Short forms and nicknames include Ari, Ella, Ellie, and Rella. Related names are Ariel (unisex), Uriel, and Gavriel/Gabrielle in the same theophoric -el tradition. The name carries associations of courage, sanctity, and protective strength.
