Bella

Bella is an Italian and Latin word meaning beautiful, derived ultimately from the Latin bella, the feminine form of bellus, meaning pretty or charming. It has long been used as a standalone given name in English-speaking countries as well as across Romance-language cultures, and gained considerable popularity in the early twenty-first century partly through its association with the protagonist of the Twilight novel series. It also functions as a short form of names containing the bel element, such as Isabella, Arabella, and Annabella. Variants and related forms include Belle and the Spanish and Portuguese Bela.
