What does Ella mean in Portuguese?

Answer 1

Sorry, but I'm Brazilian and never heard it as a word. Ella derives from the french word "elle", which means "she" and is a tipical termination to female names, like Danielle/Daniella/Daniela, female equivalents for Daniel.

Here we use the termination "ela" (one L), like in Manuela (female form of the name Manuel).

But, we have a LOT of imigrants and persons that love foreigner names, so there is a lot of Ashley, Giovanni, Rebecca and Miriam down here.

P.S.: in very old times, writers used to wrote "ela" with two L's, but I'm talking about centuries back.
