Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Arella: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2024.
Arella is most often considered a modern variant of Ariella, the feminine form of the Hebrew name Ariel, meaning “lion of God.” It also shares roots with Arabella, a name of Latin and Scottish origin meaning “yielding to prayer.” While not widely borne by historical figures, Arella is recognised in popular culture as the name of a DC Comics character, the mother of Raven in the Teen Titans universe. The name has no direct place connections, but its lyrical sound has made it an increasingly popular choice for parents seeking a distinctive yet melodic name. As a variant, Arella offers a fresh alternative to the more established Ariella or Arabella, with a gentle, modern feel that fits well alongside other nature-inspired and spiritual names.
