A female given name, sometimes used as part of compound names.
From Italian 'della' meaning 'of the,' often appearing in Italian place names and surnames. It became popularized as a given name in English-speaking countries.
In Italian, 'della' is a preposition meaning 'of the'—so names like 'Della Vista' literally mean 'of the view'—which is why Italian surnames often sound poetic when you understand what they actually mean.
