What is the meaning of the name Csilla ?

The baby name Csilla is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈt͡ʃilːɒ/ (approx. "CHEE-lah").

Csilla is Hungarian in Origin.

Csilla is a distinctly Hungarian feminine name formed from the native word csillag 'star', and it is also related to csillog 'to sparkle'. It evokes the image of a bright, guiding star and carries connotations of radiance and good fortune. The name arose with the 19th-century trend of adopting Hungarian vocabulary as given names and moved into wider, secular use in the 20th century.

Usage grew strongly in Hungary from the 1950s through the 1980s and spread with Hungarian communities in Transylvania (Romania), Slovakia, and Vojvodina; it remains familiar though less fashionable today. Pet forms include Csillu and Csillacska. Close analogues in other languages are Stella, Estelle/Estella, and Estrella; the spelling Cilla is sometimes used abroad as a simplified form, though in many countries Cilla is an unrelated short form of Cecilia or Priscilla.
