I went to my friend Emily's house yesterday and some of her elderly relatives were there. One of them (I can't remember the relation), was named Idella. I found this very interesting, as I've never heard it before. Also, her grandmother was named Rosalie, which I've never heard in person before. WDYT?

Maybe a different way to spell Adela? I like the sound but I'm not so sure about the spelling. I adore Rosalie, though. :)

I think that, even though this name doesn't have a meaning, it must have some sort of other connection. By this I mean, Idella might be the Latinized version of Idelle, which is an elaboration of Ida, which, in German means Work, or Labour.
