Hailing from the enchanting land of the Tour Eiffel, Joela is a stunning name choice for a girl. Rooted in French, Joela is a name meaning  “Jehovah is God” and is an alternate version of the name Joelle which can also be interpreted as a combination of the names Jo and Elle (meaning ‘she’ in French.) This strong feminine name derives from its masculine counterpart, Joel, who featured as a prophet in the Bible and wrote the Book of Joel. Despite this name's religious ties, its melodic rhythm makes it a perfect name choice for anyone.
