Ornella
Ornella is an Italian feminine given name, probably derived from "ornello", "flowering ash tree" ("Fraxinus ornus"). It was coined by Gabriele D'Annunzio in his 1904 play "The Daughter of Iorio" and made popular also thanks to the fame of singer Ornella Vanoni and, later, of actress Ornella Muti. It's widespread in central and northern Italy, as well as in Abruzzo, while it's rarer in the south. Closely related but very rare names include Ornelia, and the masculine versions Ornello and Ornelio.
