Pella
Meaning of Pella
Pella is a Greek name that means “rock” and recalls the ancient capital of Macedonia, birthplace of Alexander the Great. It also carried early Christians to safety in a town called Pella, giving the name a sense of sanctuary and resilience. With just six Pellas born each year in the US—ranking around the nine-hundreds—it’s a rare gem in the garden of baby names (like spotting a monsoon rainbow!). In India, where stories flow as freely as monsoon rivers, Pella stands out like a lone temple shikara against the sky. Pronounced PEL-uh, she has a gentle rhythm on the tongue, as playful as a sitar string at dawn. Few names blend history, strength and poetic charm so lightly. Pella reminds everyone to build hope on solid ground and dream as boldly as kings.
