Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Nela vznikla osamostatnením domácej skrátenej podoby viacerých ženských mien obsahujúcich skupinu „nel“. Najčastejšie sa odvodzuje od latinských mien Kornélia a Petronela, od gréckeho mena Helena alebo od mena Eleonóra, ktorého pôvod nie je spoľahlivo objasnený a zvyčajne sa hľadá v starofrancúzskom prostredí. Význam Nely preto nemožno určiť nezávisle od mena, z ktorého bola utvorená.
