Usage is sparse but attested in contemporary records from the late 20th century onward, especially in Spanish- and English-speaking communities that favor creative -ella elaborations.

Meaning depends on the lineage you prefer. If linked to Maria/Mary (from Hebrew Miryam), interpretations include "beloved," "wished-for child," and traditional folk etymologies such as "sea" imagery; the root itself is debated.
