Gwendolyne

Marcella is a name of Latin origin, which has been neglected for decades now. Depicted as the world's most beautiful woman in Don Quixote (where it's spelled Marcela), it has plenty of flair and elegance to revive it again.Derived from Marcellus, it is connected to Mars, the Roman god of war, but for a less warlike association, there is Saint Marcella, a Roman matron of strength and intellect who organized a religious sisterhood at her mansion, which St. Jerome guided in religion and learning.
 
Originally in Latin, it would have been pronounced with a hard C sound (like Marcus), while in Italian, it is pronounced with a CH sound (like in Francesca) and in English it might be said with a soft C sound (as in Marcy).
