According to the Georgian source listed below, the name Gela is of Georgian ("ქართული") origin:
https://web.archive.org/web/20140726002319/http://name.interes.ge/dreams.php?action=view&id=225&from=action=search|by=%E1%83%92
(in Georgian)
It belongs to the category of given names that are derived from animal names, since Gela is derived from (or rather, a short form of) old Georgian given names that contain the Georgian noun მგელი (mgeli) meaning "wolf". Examples of such names are: Mgelia, Mgelika and Mgeluka. The latter two are probably diminutives of Mgelia.

(in Georgian; see no. 14 of the boys' names, which states that Gela means მგელა (mgela) in Georgian, which Google Translate doesn't translate, but should mean "wolf") [noted -ed]
