Did you know?
- While Bella is used as a name, the Irish word for 'beautiful' is aoibhinn or álainn, meaning the name does not share the same meaning as the Italian word 'bella'.
- Because Bella is an imported name, it does not follow the traditional Irish system of 'genitive case' changes that indigenous names undergo when following a possessive pronoun.
- The name Bella shares a phonetic similarity to the Irish word bealaí, which relates to 'mouths' or 'openings', though they are unrelated in meaning.
