Libelula Origin and Meaning

The name Libelula is a girl's name meaning "dragonfly".

A rare nature name and an interesting way to familiar nicknames like Libby, Lula, Lulu, and Bel, Libelula (or Libélula) comes from the Spanish word for "dragonfly". The name itself comes from the Latin word for "level" and "balanced" (libella and liberatum), in reference to the horizontal wings of the insect.

Only very occasionally given as a name, it has nevertheless been used across South America.
