Meaning and background
The story behind Orla
Orla is familiar as an Irish given name from Órlaith, traditionally interpreted through Old Irish words for gold and ruler or sovereign. There is also a separate Danish masculine name Orla whose etymology is not established. Those two uses share the English spelling but should not automatically be given the same history. For someone using the Irish form, the connection to a medieval Irish name is well documented and more meaningful than a generic 'princess' slogan.
