Isella
Meaning of Isella
Isella, pronounced eye-SELL-uh (/aɪˈsɛlə/), emerges as a modern offshoot of the medieval European Isabella—itself descended from the Hebrew Elisheba, “God is my oath.” While it carries no direct Persian etymology, its fluid string of vowels and soft consonants evoke the melodious cadence prized in classical Farsi poetry. An analytical look at US birth records shows Isella has maintained a niche presence since the early 1980s—peaking at rank 771 in 1983 and settling into the lower 900s in recent years, with only five newborns named Isella in 2024. Its annual tally rarely exceeds 25, hardly the stuff of crowded schoolyards, yet enough to signal a quietly persistent appeal. In choosing Isella, parents blend historical weight with contemporary subtlety, bestowing a name that feels both regal and refreshingly singular.
