Re: Marilla
in reply to a message by Haven
My baby names book (which is semi-reliable!) lists Marilla as an English elaboration of Mary. Seems about right to me.http://www.justbabynames.com/ reckons it's a variation of Muriel, Celtic, meaning "Shining Sea". A few different sites share this definition.http://www.20000-names.com/ thinks it's a flower name - they don't say it but maybe from Amaryllis?I'm betting on the Mary origin. :-)
