Meaning & Origins
Apparently a late 20th-century creation, formed from the first syllable of Zoë with the ending -la, common in girls' names. It coincides in form with the surname of the French novelist Émile Zola (1840–1902), who was of Italian descent, but it is unlikely that he had any influence on the use of the name.
