Ezzelina is Italian in Origin.
Ezzelina is an Italian feminine given name formed with the diminutive suffix -ina from Ezzelino/Azzolino, themselves northern Italian/Venetian variants of Azzo, a medieval name of Germanic origin. Azzo is a short form (hypocoristic) of several compound names built on the element adal- "noble," so Ezzelina carries the sense of "little noble" or "descendant of Azzo," by extension "noble maiden."
Use is rare and chiefly documented in northern Italy from the late Middle Ages onward, appearing sporadically in parish records and resurfacing with antiquarian taste in the 19th century, when the notoriety of Ezzelino da Romano kept the root name in cultural memory (notably via Dante and Romantic-era histories). Variants and related forms include Ezzolina and Azzolina; masculine counterparts are Ezzelino and Ezzelin. Short forms and nicknames: Lina, Ella, Ezzy/Ezzi. The name remains uncommon internationally, encountered mainly in Italian-speaking communities and the diaspora.
Ezzelina doesn't appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. Whichever it is, scarcely anyone else carries it.
