Meaning and background
The story behind Ulla
Ulla is used as a familiar feminine name in several European languages. Edited name histories trace Scandinavian uses to Ulrika or Hulda, and German uses to Ursula. Because these are different parent names, attaching only one of their remote meanings to Ulla would be misleading. Its two short syllables make it simple to say, with pronunciation differing slightly between Finnish and German speakers.
- Origin
- Scandinavian diminutive of Ulrika or Hulda, or German diminutive of Ursula. Source
