Zellarhea

I am wondering what the meaning is and exactly how to pronounce it. I love the way it looks, but am thinking that it's pronounced like "Celery".

Anyone know for sure?

Thanks!

I would pronounce it Zell-are-ee-uh.

I don't know about the pronunciation, but I'd be careful ... it looks a lot like "diarrhea," and that could be a problem.

I was going to say the same thing as Beverly.

How about "Zellaria"?

The closest I could find in my baby name books was Zella, a variant of Zelia, which is from the Latin zelus, meaning "zealous."

In another book, Zella is Bobangi, from Africa: "lacking nothing" or "one who knows the path."

I would agree that Zellaria looks nicer, and perhaps it should be pronounced "Zell-AH-ria" to avoid teasing.
