Meaning & origin
Arilla is a rare American feminine name first recorded in 1888. Its popularity peaked in 1891, but it has never ranked in the top 1,000 names in any Social Security year. The name appears to be a 19th-century invention, possibly a blend of Ari- and a popular suffix like -lla. It has remained consistently uncommon, never appearing in the top 1,000 in any subsequent decade. Given its low usage, no top states or notable trends are associated with it. Arilla's trajectory has been flat since the 1890s, with only occasional births. The name reflects the creative naming practices of the late 1800s, when parents sometimes combined fashionable sounds to form new names.
Arilla is a rare given name first recorded in the United States in 1888. It likely originated as a modern invention, perhaps a blend of Ari- (as in Ariel or Ariana) with a feminine suffix -lla. No clear derivation from established languages or historical roots has been identified.
