Carrilla is Roman in Origin.
Carrilla is a rare feminine given name most plausibly formed by blending the affectionate root car- (from Latin carus, “dear, beloved,” seen in Cara and Carrie) with the diminutive -illa familiar from names like Camilla and Priscilla. The doubled r reflects Spanish-influenced spelling patterns and echoes Spanish carilla (“little face”), though as a given name Carrilla aligns more closely with the “beloved little one” sense carried by the Latin root.
Documented chiefly in 19th‑century United States records - alongside creative -illa names such as Drusilla and Orilla - Carrilla has remained extremely uncommon and has never appeared in the U.S. SSA Top 1000. Variant spellings include Carilla, Carrila, and Karilla; short forms and related nicknames include Cari, Carrie, and Rilla. Cognate or stylistic relatives include Cara, Carina, Carissa, Caroline/Carol, and Camilla. Today Carrilla offers a vintage, gently romantic choice with a warm “beloved” meaning.
