A Rare name?

Question

Can anyone tell me where the name Nizzela originated from or where I can find out? I cant find anything.

Answer 1

Hi, VERY rare!

I'm not finding Nizzela (at Ancestry or any of the other "name meaning & origin" sites), but you might be interested to know that I found a town named Nizela...  Perhaps the name came from there?

It's in Angola (Africa) - - Rio Nizela is an alternate name for Nyela, the town's official name.

Answer 2

I'm assuming it's a first name.  I think it has a nice sound to it....I'd guess "African."

Answer 3

Preliminary investigation on http:///www.books.google.com suggests that it is Italian. There's a philosophy book on there. Quick searches of ancestry.com are not showing a Nizzela. Yet.

Good luck, and happy hunting.
