Ninela is Romanian in Origin.
Ninela is a rare feminine name noted in Russia and the Caucasus (Georgia, Armenia), and sporadically in Southern Europe. It is most often traced to the Soviet-era coinage Ninel - Lenin reversed - given a feminine -a ending; the form also surfaces in Italian dialects as Ninella/Ninela, a pet name from Nina or Antonina, and as an embellished Nina in Slavic and Spanish use.
Meaning depends on origin: from Ninel it carries a commemorative, ideological source rather than a lexical sense; from Antonina it follows Latin Antonius, traditionally glossed “of inestimable worth,” while via Nina it echoes multicultural readings such as Spanish “little girl” or Quechua “fire.” Related forms and variants include Ninel, Ninella, and Ninelle; short forms Nela, Nella, and Nina are common.
Ninela is a genuine rarity. We count just 16 recorded uses of it worldwide, from 12 countries.
