Origin and meaning of Perla
Perla simply borrows the name of the gem, from medieval Latin perla, the lustrous treasure that forms inside an oyster. It is a 'jewel' name, chosen to evoke purity, preciousness and rare beauty, in the vein of other names drawn from stones and flowers. Fittingly, it shares its meaning with Margaret, also 'pearl.' Used in Italy and across the Spanish-speaking world, where it sounds bright and delicate, it appears elsewhere mainly as English Pearl or French Perle.
