Ozella
Ozella Origin and Meaning
Ozella is a feminine name with uncertain origins, possibly derived from the Hebrew name Azaliah (meaning 'God has set aside') or as a feminine form of Oswald (from Germanic elements meaning 'god' and 'power'). It may also have developed as a creative elaboration of names like Ozell or Ozel. Ozella gained limited recognition in the United States during the early 20th century, particularly in Southern states. The name has a lyrical, flowing quality with its melodious sound and distinctive 'z' consonant. Ozella remains quite rare, giving it an air of uniqueness and vintage charm. Those bearing this name might appreciate its uncommon nature and the way it combines softness with a certain strength in its consonants.
