Pamella

Meaning of Pamella

Pamella, pronounced puh-MEL-uh, is a radiant variant of the poetic Pamela—rooted in the Greek pan (“all”) and mellis (“honey”), it softly proclaims “all sweetness” with every syllable. This name drifts like a warm Latin breeze through sunlit courtyards, evoking bougainvillea-draped balconies and the gentle hum of café con leche at dawn—though without the sugar rush. First woven into English letters by Sir Philip Sidney in the 16th century, Pamella found particular favor in mid-twentieth-century Michigan, dancing into the top two hundred popular names between the 1940s and ’50s. Today, it stands at the crossroads of classic elegance and modern warmth, a lyrical invitation to savor life’s simple sweetness, as delicate—and steadfast—as honey spun into silk.
