Origin and meaning of Gemella
Gemella comes from the Latin gemellus, 'twin', a diminutive of geminus: it means 'twin, born together with a brother or sister'. In ancient Rome it marked exactly that — a twin birth. Today it is a very rare and archaic name, used almost only in Italy, with a quaint, affectionate flavour. It keeps the curious charm of a name that tells directly the circumstance of one's birth.
