Bella is a female name. It is a diminutive form of names ending in -bella, such as Isabella and Annabella. Bella is related to the Italian and Latin words for beauty. It is also related to the name Belle, which means beauty in French.[1][2] Despite meaning beauty, Bella is also translated in Latin meaning wars.[3] However, this similarity is a simple case of a homonym brought about by the similar conjugations of bellus, meaning beautiful, and bellum, meaning war.
