Karniella is in Origin.

Karniella is a rare modern feminine name, most plausibly formed by combining the Hebrew element Karni (from keren, “ray of light; horn” - with the possessive -i, “my”) and the Romance diminutive suffix -ella. Read this way, the name suggests “my little ray” or “little beam of light,” with a parallel figurative sense of strength via the older “horn” meaning. Its -ella ending also places it among international elaborations that soften a root with a lyrical, feminine cadence.

Sparse historical records indicate recent, creative use rather than deep traditional footing, aligning with 21st‑century trends for blended and -ella names. Variant spellings include Carniella, Karniela, and Karniela; related-by-sound cousins are Kornelia/Cornelia (Latin “horn”) and the Hebrew-family surname Karniel. Nicknames and short forms: Karni, Kari, Nia, Nell, and Ella. Though uncommon, Karniella carries a bright, affectionate meaning with cross-cultural resonance.
