What is the meaning of the name Rachella ?

The baby name Rachella is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /rəˈtʃɛlə/, /reɪˈtʃɛlə/ (approx. "ruh-CHEL-uh", "ray-CHEL-uh").

Rachella is Hebrew in Origin.

Rachella is an embellished form of Rachel, ultimately from the Hebrew Rahel, meaning ewe or lamb. The biblical Rachel - beloved wife of Jacob in Genesis - anchored the name in Jewish tradition; from there it entered wider Christian usage, rising in English after the Reformation. Adding the Romance diminutive suffix -ella produced Rachella, a form that appears sporadically in Italian and English records and fits contemporary preferences for lyrical -ella names.

Related forms include Rachel and Rachael (English), Rahel (German/Scandinavian), Rachele (Italian), Raquel (Spanish/Portuguese), Rachelle (French/English), Rochelle (English/French, also influenced by the place-name La Rochelle), Rochel/Rokhl (Yiddish), and Rahela (South Slavic/Romanian). While markedly uncommon today, Rachella offers a familiar biblical meaning with a distinctive twist, and sees occasional use in Jewish and multicultural families seeking an elegant elaboration.
