Zella

Zella, with roots as captivating as its sound, possibly emerged from the Yiddish diminutive of Zelda, itself a form of Griselda meaning 'gray battle.'

This Germanic origin found its way into American naming practices in the late 19th century, enjoying its peak attention in the early 20th century.
