Pamala Origin and Meaning
The name Pamala is a girl's name.
Pamala is a feminine name representing an alternative spelling of Pamela, which originated in the 16th century through Sir Philip Sidney's pastoral poem 'Arcadia.' The name is believed to be derived from Greek elements meaning 'all honey' or 'all sweetness.' This variant spelling emerged during the mid-20th century when Pamela reached peak popularity, likely chosen by parents seeking a slightly more distinctive version of the common name. The spelling follows natural pronunciation patterns but gives the name a unique visual identity. While Pamela (and its variants) has declined in usage since its 1950s heyday, Pamala offers a sweet-sounding option with classic roots and a touch of individuality through its spelling variation.
