Umbrella comes from the Italian language. It is derived from the Italian word ombrella.
"A little shade" in English is un po' di ombra or piccola ombra. The English word "umbrella" comes from the Italian noun ombrello, which translates back into English as "umbrella." The Italian word, however, is ultimately from a diminutive form of the Latin word umbra, which does mean "shade."
Piccolo ombrello is a literal Italian equivalent of the English word "small umbrella." Another equivalent, ombrellino, references specifically one of three of the Church's processional umbrellas. The pronunciation will be "PEEK-ko-lo om-BREL-lo" in Italian.

It comes from both "Umbria" (the region) and the female-denoting suffix "-ella". Parasols were at a time very fashionable in Umbria with the middle and upper classes due to the protection they afforded from the sun. (Used to retain the whiteness of the skin)But when umbrellas became popular, at first they were compared to the parasols of Umbian women, thus Umbria was conflated with ella to form what we now spell umbrella.
