Pamila

Pamila is an English variant spelling of Pamela, a name invented by the sixteenth-century poet Sir Philip Sidney for a character in his prose romance Arcadia, likely formed from Greek elements meaning all and honey or sweetness. The name gained widespread popularity after Samuel Richardson used Pamela as the title and heroine of his influential 1740 novel. Variant forms include Pamela, Pammela, and the shortened familiar form Pam.
