My name is spelled Mariela. I like it because it is Italian.

I love this name. It's very feminine and rolls off the tongue easily. I love it! The spelling Mariela is fine too.

Pronounced mah-ree-ELL-ah.

It is a very pretty name ♥. I love the pronunciation Mah-ree-ella, whether it is correct or not I don't know. Really cool, and adds an air of formality to the overused name Maria.

I really like this name; it sounds really nice and lovely; it has sort of a cosy quality to it in some way, but at the same time it sounds fresh, new and modern in general. :)

I love this name, we named our second daughter Mariella, as a more unusual version of Maria. People often comment on how pretty it is!

Also a Spanish name, though pronounced "Muh-RELL-uh".

Italian Pronuncition:

Mah-RYEHL-Lah

"A" as in "Father." For the combination of "Riel," the letters go from "Ree-Eyhl" to a meshed "RYEHL." Be mindful to pronounce both following "LL"s separately-- which is generally accomplished with the most ease by placing extra emphasis on the letter directly before ("E"), and slowly rolling through. Again, "A" is as found in "Father."

AndrewJKD was on the correct track. What he wrote simply needed a minimal bit of tweaking. [noted -ed]

This is one of my favorite girls names! Absolutely stunning. It is timeless and I can easily picture a young girl, teenager, adult, bearing this name. A symbol of beauty, purity, strength and sophistication.

The name Mariella was given to 148 baby girls born in the US in 2012. This is one of my new favorites :)

Mariella Fyfe, a character in Rosamond Lehmann's book 'Dusty Answer', first published in 1927.

I love the name, but I know somone with this name who is extremely bratty, and irresponsible, and thinks the world was created for her fun. So every time I hear this name, I can't picture someone nice or kind, or helpful.
