History & Origin
Florella is an early-twentieth-century American name that joins Flora to the soft ending -ella, drawing on the Latin flos, floris, 'flower.' It reads as a diminutive of the flower theme, a graceful sister to Flora and Fiorella. The name was always uncommon, valued by families who liked its blossoming, old-world sound.
Florella was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1923, and it faded from the records by the mid nineteen-forties. A woman named Florella then would be nearing a hundred today.
