Clella is a unique and vintage given name of English origin. It was more commonly used during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, lending it a classic and nostalgic charm. The name Clella is derived from the English word 'clearing,' suggesting clarity, openness, or perhaps a connection to nature or the outdoors. Despite its historical popularity, Clella remains relatively uncommon today, making it an intriguing choice for parents seeking a distinctive name for their child.
The name Clella appears to have been moderately popular during the late 19th and early-to-mid 20th centuries, with a total of 887 births recorded over this period. However, there are notable fluctuations in its popularity throughout these years. The name's peak occurred around 1915-1922, during which it was given to between 23 and 36 babies each year, including an all-time high of 36 births in 1915. Conversely, the name fell out of favor by the mid-1940s, with fewer than ten babies named Clella each year from 1945 onwards.
