Meaning & origin
Trella is a rare name that first appeared in United States records in 1886, with no rank data for that year or any subsequent year as of 2025. Its peak usage was also in 1886, reflecting that it has never been widely adopted. The name's trajectory is described as stable, meaning it has not seen significant increases or decreases in usage. No states recorded enough births to make top-state lists. Given its obscurity, Trella remains a highly uncommon choice, appealing to those seeking a truly unique name with a vintage feel.
Trella is a rare name of uncertain origin. It may be a feminine form of an old Cornish surname like Trelawney, or a variant of the name Trell. It was recorded in the United States in 1886, but its usage has been extremely sparse since then.
