Novella

Meaning of Novella

Novella carries the warmth of a Mediterranean sunrise, its very syllables drawn from the Italian word for “new story” and echoing the Latin novellus, meaning fresh or youthful. Like a novella in miniature, it hints at a life unfolding in vibrant chapters—each day a blank page waiting to be turned, and all without the reading glasses required for a full-length novel. The name conjures sunlit piazzas, laughter drifting on the breeze and a gentle whisper of literary charm in every utterance. Though still charmingly rare in American nurseries, Novella has quietly captured hearts with its melodic promise: a fresh beginning, an untold adventure and a story forever in progress.
