HelpRe: my mistake..
in reply to a message by jeziana
Oh, it's cool, no worries. :D
I've always been a bit idly curious about the name myself, so I'm hoping someone can get to the bottom of it.

This one is a doozy...
Firstly, in Hebrew, arel means 'imperfect', 'unclean' and 'uncircumcised'. Arella would therefore be feminising arel by tacking on an -la (in the same sense that one would feminise Aviv or Adam by tacking an 'A' to the end of the name), however arella doesn't exist as a word.
I've done some digging and according to a couple of sites I trust, Arella is the feminine form of Arel which does, in fact, mean 'angel'. I'm perplexed, though, because the (transliterated) Hebrew word for angel is mal'ach.
So, on one hand, you're correct in that it means 'angel' or 'messenger', but on the other hand, it means 'unclean' and 'uncircumcised'.
I'll try to do some more digging.
