Loella is English in Origin.
Loella is an English given name best understood as a streamlined variant of Louella/Luella, themselves blends of Lou- (from Louis/Louise, ultimately Germanic hlud “fame, renown” + wig “war, battle”) and Ella (a medieval short form from several Germanic names, often taken as a friendly diminutive). As a modern compound, Loella inherits the sense of “renowned in battle” from the Lou- element, softened by Ella’s melodic -ella; blended coinages rarely have one fixed gloss, but many read it loosely as “renowned maiden.”
The name appears in late 19th- and early 20th-century American records alongside Louella and Luella before fading midcentury. It remains rare today, occasionally rediscovered amid the revival of Ella-, Lou-, and Lo- names. Variants and cognates include Louella, Luella, Loelle, and Loela; nicknames range from Lo and Lola to Elle and Ellie. Related forms: Louise, Eloise, Ella.
