Pearlia, of Latin origin, is an uncommon yet charming given name for girls. It is derived from the Latin word 'pEAR' which translates to 'to bring forth'. This could imply a sense of productivity or nurturing in its meaning. The name Pearlia has a gentle ring to it, reminiscent of its fruit namesake, suggesting sweetness and softness. Despite not being widely used today, it retains a unique vintage charm that might appeal to parents looking for an unusual yet meaningful name.
The name Pearlia was quite popular in the early to mid 20th century, with a noticeable spike in usage between 1943 and 1947, during which time it saw its highest number of births recorded (8 in 1946). Before this peak, there were periods of consistent usage, particularly around the 1920s. However, overall, the name Pearlia appears to have been more common during the mid-century era rather than at its beginning or end.
