History & Origin

Verdella is an early-twentieth-century American elaboration of Verda, a name from the Latin viridis, 'green' or 'verdant.' The added -ella syllable, hugely popular then, softened many short names into flowing forms. Verdella was always a minor member of that group.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak around 1930, and it faded by the 1960s. A girl named Verdella then, born in the 1930s, would be in her nineties today.

Did you know? The fashionable -ella ending that turned Verda into Verdella also gave that era Estella, Luella, and Nordella - a whole family of soft, flowing coinages.
