What is the meaning of the name Samuela ?

The baby name Samuela is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced Italian/Spanish/Polish/Samoan: /sa.muˈe.la/ (sah-moo-EH-lah); English: /səˈmwɛlə/ (suh-MWEL-uh).

Samuela is in Origin.

Samuela is the feminine form of Samuel used mainly in Italian and, more rarely, Spanish. It ultimately comes from the Hebrew Šĕmuʾēl, interpreted as “God has heard” (from shama‘ “to hear”) or “name of God” (shem “name” + El “God”). The name carries a biblical resonance through the prophet Samuel.

In Italy the feminine Samuela found modest, steady use from the late 20th century, appearing in sports and media; in Spanish-speaking countries it remains uncommon. Note that in Samoan and Tongan, Samuela is the standard masculine equivalent of Samuel, so the name’s gender can vary by language. Related forms and variants include Samuella, Samantha (an English feminization influenced by Samuel), and the masculine Samuele (Italian) and Samuel. Common diminutives are Sam, Sammy, Sami, and Ela.
