Sevillia is Spanish in Origin.

Sevillia is a rare feminine given name taken from the Spanish place-name Sevilla (English: Seville). The city’s name comes via Arabic Ishbiliyya, which reflects the earlier Latin toponym Hispalis. As a toponymic given name, Sevillia conveys the sense “from Seville” or “of Seville,” with a romantic, geographic flavor.

In usage, Sevillia appears sporadically in 19th- and early 20th-century English-language records alongside kindred spellings such as Sevila and Sevilia, as well as Sevilla (Spanish) and the Anglicized Seville. The double‑l form likely arose as an English elaboration echoing names like Cecilia or Amelia. Variants and related forms include Sevilla (standard Spanish), Seville (English), Sevila/Sevilia (simplified), and the adjectival Sevillana/Sevilliana, the latter occasionally used as a given name in Spanish contexts. While never common, Sevillia evokes Andalusian heritage and carries familiar, lyrical sounds, making it a distinctive place‑name choice.
