Gytellah is in Origin.

Gytellah is best understood as a modern, Anglicized elaboration of the Yiddish feminine name Gitel/Gittel, ultimately from Middle High German gut (“good”), a virtue wish for a child’s goodness and well‑being. In Jewish usage it parallels the Hebrew Tovah (“good”), sometimes paired as double names. The -lah ending gives a softer cadence, while the y reflects a creative respelling seen in contemporary name revivals.

The core form Gitel was common among Ashkenazi Jews across Central and Eastern Europe, appearing in community records, ketubot, and headstones from the early modern period onward; diminished and affectionate forms included Gitl and Gitele. Today Gytellah reads as a distinctive update that preserves the traditional meaning. Related and variant spellings include Gitel, Gittel, Gitl, Gitla, Gitele, Gittela/Gitella, and Gytella; cognates or thematic counterparts include Tova/Tovah.
