Rashella is in Origin.
Rashella is a modern English feminine name, most plausibly an elaboration of Rachelle (the French form of Rachel) with the fashionable -ella ending. Rachel derives from Hebrew Rahel, meaning "ewe, lamb," a biblical matriarchal name long used across Jewish and Christian communities. The Rashella spelling emphasizes the ra-SHELL-uh pronunciation and appears in late 20th- and early 21st-century records, especially in the United States and Caribbean diasporas, where creative -ella formations flourished.
Because Rachelle and Rochelle are often confused in English, Rashella is sometimes linked to Rochelle, a French place-name from La Rochelle, ultimately from Old French roche "rock," yielding an alternate folk meaning "little rock." Variants and close relatives include Rashelle, Rachelle, Rachela, Rachel, and Rochelle; shortened forms can be Rae, Shelly, or Ella.
