Sydella is English in Origin.

Sydella is generally considered a modern elaboration of Sydelle/Sydell. Those forms trace to the English surname Siddell/Siddall, built from Old English sīd “broad” + dell “valley,” giving the sense “broad valley.” The -ella ending also reflects early‑20th‑century taste for French‑looking feminines, paralleling Estelle and Adele. Some writers additionally link the base Sid‑ to Sidonia/Sidonie (“woman of Sidon”), so the name carries either a nature meaning or a classical place‑name echo.

Documented in the United States from the 1910s through mid‑century - especially in Jewish and urban communities - Sydelle/Sydell later waned, while the -ella renaissance revived rarer offshoots like Sydella. Variant spellings include Sydelle, Sydell, Sidelle, and Sidella; related forms are Sidonie/Sidonia and the surname‑turned‑given Sydney/Sidney. Nicknames and short forms include Syd, Sy, Della, and Ella. Sydella remains uncommon today, lending a familiar sound with distinctive spelling and layered heritage.
