Pamila

Pamila is an English given name that functions as a spelling variant of Pamela, a name invented by the poet Sir Philip Sidney for a character in his prose romance Arcadia, published in 1590. The original Pamela is thought to have been formed from Greek elements meaning all and honey or sweetness. The name gained wider literary fame through Samuel Richardson's 1740 novel Pamela, which helped establish it as a given name in the English-speaking world. Related forms include Pamela, Pammela, and Pamella.
