Degula is in Origin.

Degula is a rare modern Hebrew given name derived from the root D-G-L, the same base as degel (“flag”). In Hebrew, degula (דגולה) is the feminine form of an adjective meaning “distinguished, outstanding,” and by extension “bannered” or “under a standard,” evoking leadership and prominence. As a given name it carries connotations of excellence and standing out from the crowd.

Its documented use arises in late‑20th‑ and 21st‑century Israeli naming, where abstract adjectives and virtues became usable as names; it has little evidence of earlier use. Possible transliterations include Degula and Degulah; a masculine counterpart is Dagul (דגול). Related forms are Degel (rare as a given name). Outside Hebrew, Degula also occurs as a family name in Eastern Europe (e.g., Polish Deguła) or East Africa, but those lineages are etymologically unrelated. Variants or nicknames sometimes seen are Degi and Gula.
