Moalla is an Arabic name used as both given name and surname, deriving from mu'alla, meaning "raised, exalted," from the Semitic root ʿ-l-w associated with height and loftiness; related terms include aʿlā ("higher") and ʿuluww ("elevation"). The sense conveys someone elevated in rank, honor, or virtue.

As a family name, it appears across the Arab world, especially in Tunisia, the Levant, and the Gulf, often reflecting an old honorific or tribal byname. As a given name it is comparatively rare in Arabic-speaking countries, but it passed into Ottoman Turkish as Mualla, which saw steady feminine use in the 20th century. Spelling variants include Mualla, Mo'alla, Mu'alla, Moualla (French-influenced), and the prefixed forms Al-Moalla and Al-Mualla. In Arabic contexts Moalla is typically masculine and carries auspicious overtones comparable to English "Exalted" or "Noble."
