Meaning & origin

Verdella is a rare feminine name that saw its highest recorded usage in 1930 (peak year), consistent with its prevalence in the 1930s. The name has never appeared in the top 1,000 rankings, and it has not been revived in recent years. Its trajectory is stable, meaning it has remained extremely uncommon. The name's uncertain origin and lack of widespread adoption keep it a unique choice. It was first recorded in 1914 and has only sporadic use in the following decades.

Verdella appears to be a variant of Verda, a name derived from Spanish and Italian 'verde' (green). It may also be a feminine elaboration influenced by names like Ella or a modern coinage combining Ver- (from Vera or Verda) with the popular suffix -ella. Records show sporadic use in the United States since the early 20th century, with peak usage in the 1930s.
