Fulla is Norse in Origin.

Fulla is a feminine name with dual heritage. In Old Norse, Fulla (ON: Fulla; OHG: Volla) derives from the Proto-Germanic root fullaz “full, plenty,” conveying senses of abundance and bounty. In the Prose Edda she is Frigg’s trusted handmaid, a maiden with a golden headband who guards her mistress’s secrets and keeps the casket, an emblem of provision. The cognate Volla appears in the Second Merseburg Incantation. Rare as a historical given name, Fulla re-emerged in Scandinavia and among mythology-minded namers in the modern era.

In Arabic, Fulla/Fullah/Folla (فلّة) is a beloved girls’ name meaning “jasmine blossom,” from ful, the fragrant Arabian jasmine. This floral sense makes it a gentle, nature-themed choice across the Levant and Gulf, with wider recognition through the Middle Eastern fashion doll “Fulla.” Depending on language, variants include Fullah, Folla, and Volla (Germanic tradition); the shared imagery spans ideas of plenitude and sweet fragrance.
