Origin: Hungarian

Meaning: Pure; Heart

Bela is a boy's name of Hungarian origin. Simply meaning "pure," this name is perfect for that brand new soul that you're taking through this world. Since it sounds like Bella, it also has a light and pretty feel. It maintains a hint of Gothic edge, though, thanks to iconic Dracula actor Bela Lugosi. Bela, sometimes written as Béla, can also refer to your little one's courage, since the root béi means "heart," as a nod to baby's inner goodness and bravery.
