Lovella
Meaning of Lovella
Lovella is a feminine English name that derives from the Norman-French surname Lovell—originally from Old French louvel (“wolf cub,” itself from Latin lupellus)—while also echoing the English root love, imparting connotations of affection and loyalty. Pronounced luh-VEL-uh (/ləˈvɛlə/), it shows a sporadic yet persistent presence in U.S. Social Security data: debuting in 1888 at rank 284, declining through the mid-20th century, then modestly rebounding to 36 births (rank 914) in 2024. This pattern of intermittent usage gives Lovella both historical depth and distinctive rarity, making it unlikely that two Lovellas would end up in the same kindergarten class.
