Morellah is in Origin.

Morellah is a rare, modern elaboration of Morella, most plausibly rooted in Romance languages. In Italian and Spanish, mora means "blackberry/mulberry" as well as "Moor," yielding bynames and color terms for someone dark-haired or dark-complexioned; Morella can thus carry senses like "little dark one" or "mulberry." It also appears as a toponym (the medieval walled town of Morella in Valencia), which has fed the surname and occasional given name. Literary association comes from Edgar Allan Poe's 1835 tale "Morella," lending the name a faint Gothic hue.

As a given name, Morella has seen sporadic use since the 19th century in English and Romance-speaking contexts; the -h ending in Morellah reflects contemporary stylistic spellings. Variants and relatives include Morella, Morela, Morelia, Maura, Mora, Mirella, and the surnames Morello/Morelli. Possible nicknames are Mori, Mo, and Ella.
