Meaning & History

Derived from the Latin noun asella meaning "little she-ass". It is the feminine version of asellus, which is a diminutive of Latin asinus meaning "ass, donkey".

This name is not to be confused with the Latin name Ascella, which is very similar in appearance and pronunciation.

A notable bearer of this name is saint Asella of Rome, a nun and hermitess who died around 406 AD.
