Della

Della is by no means a typical or standard Polish name or even a diminutive, but still it has enjoyed some usage and as of January this year, there are four women in Poland who bear this name. A Della could celebrate her name day together with Adelajda (February 5, December 12 and 16), Adelina (August 28), Delfina (September 26 or December 8) or Adela (November 23). While I don't know how those four Polish Dellas pronounce their name, according to Polish phonetics it would be with two L's, so DEL-lah.

In 2018, 50 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Della who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 1, 079th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.

My great grandmother went by Della. Her full name was Delilah, but spelled "Dellila".

The name Della was given to 213 girls born in the US in 2015.

Della (or Dela) has been used as a nickname for my name (Delaney) fairly often.

The name Della was given to 172 baby girls born in the US in 2012. I really like this name a lot, it's sweet but mature and very underused. It would be a great alternative to Bella and Ella, which are very trendy at the moment.

Della was a fairly common name for girls in the decades around the turn of the 20th century but by the 1930s it fell out of popularity and it hasn't been on the top 1000 in the US for quite some time. I always associate this name with the Jazz Age; it just sounds like the name of a flapper girl to me. It sounds both feminine and strong, and I love the meaning of the names it's derived from. I could seriously consider it for a daughter one day.
