About the name Della

Della started as a pet form of Adela and Adelaide before standing alone through the early 1900s, when it was everywhere. It re-entered the US top thousand recently, carried by the same nostalgia that revived Hattie and Nellie.

Della is a girl name of Germanic origin, pronounced DELL-ah. On the NameRarity scale it scores 77 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the 1900s.
