A feminine given name, often used as a first name in English-speaking countries.
From Old German 'ali' meaning 'all' or 'other.' It became popular partly through the Cinderella story variant 'Ella,' and gained fame through singers like Ella Fitzgerald.
Ella Fitzgerald, called 'The First Lady of Song,' had perfect pitch and could scat-sing (improvise nonsense syllables) so skillfully that she basically invented a new way to treat the human voice as a jazz instrument.
