Meaning & origin
Labella is a rare modern name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2004. It never broke into widespread use, ranking at 14,942 in 2025 with an estimated 1 in 321,453 girls receiving the name. Its peak popularity came in 2019, but since 2018 it has been on a downward trajectory, reflecting its status as a fleeting contemporary coinage. The name is almost certainly an elaboration of Bella, perhaps with the fashionable La- prefix seen in names like Layla or Lana. As a newborn name, it has not appeared in any top-state rankings, underscoring its niche appeal. Parents choosing Labella today are opting for a distinctive, melodic name with a modern feel and a touch of Italian flair.
Labella appears to be a modern invented name, possibly formed by combining the feminine name La (as in Lana or Lacey) with Bella, the Italian word for 'beautiful'. It first appeared in U.S. records in 2004 and saw a modest rise in usage during the 2010s, peaking in 2019. Its structure resembles other contemporary coinages like Lavella or Lilibella.
