Ella

Ella was brought to England by the Normans as a short form of Germanic names that began with the element al, meaning all, or ali, meaning other. It survived in medieval England and was revived in the Victorian era, when it also came to be used as a pet form of Eleanor and Ellen. The best-known bearer is Ella Fitzgerald, the American jazz singer called the First Lady of Song, admired for her scat singing and her recordings of the Great American Songbook. The name also appears as Ela in Polish and Turkish, where it has separate roots.
