Lella is Italian in Origin.
Lella is chiefly an Italian hypocoristic formed by clipping to the -ella ending of names like Gabriella, Raffaella, Antonella, Marcella, and even Elena. Used affectionately in Italy and later adopted as an independent given name by the mid-20th century, it is borne by figures such as racing driver Lella Lombardi, actress Lella Fabrizi, and performer Lella Costa.
Variant forms and related short names include Lela, Lelia, and Lalla. Cross-culturally, Lella/Lalla in the Maghreb functions as an honorific meaning "lady," rooted in Berber and Maghrebi Arabic, and is occasionally adopted as a given name. The name also overlaps with Leila/Layla traditions in Europe, where spelling and sound influence lead some to treat Lella as a variant; in that line it carries the meaning "night." As a diminutive of Gabriella or Raffaella, it inherits Hebrew theophoric meanings: "God is my strength" or "God has healed."
