Idella
Meaning of Idella
Idella (pronounced eye-DEL-uh / aɪˈdɛlə /) unfolds as an elegant elaboration of the venerable Ida, its Germanic root id evoking notions of labor, industriousness and prosperity. By appending the diminutive suffix –ella, the name acquires a lyrical flourish—as though Ida had been appointed the scholarly godmother of its own lineage—marrying pragmatic resolve to genteel refinement. Historically, Idella enjoyed modest prominence in the United States during the early 20th century, peaking around rank 119 in 1930, before gradually receding into obscurity; by 2024 it reappeared for fewer than half a dozen newborn girls, ranking near 945. This steady ebb underlines Idella’s quietly rebellious charm: a vintage choice that resists the clamor of clichés, offering parents a warm nod to bygone days and an assurance of uncommon, steadfast grace.
