Orla (name)

Órla, Órlaith, Orla or Orlagh (pronounced OR-lah) is a female given name of Irish origin. The root format of the name is Órfhlaith interpretable as "golden princess" as it combines the Gaelic elements ór: gold, and fhlaith literally prince, its full feminine form being banfhlaith.

Well known via association with Brian Boru - his sister Órlaith íngen Cennétig (d. 941) was queen consort to the Irish High King Donnchad Donn - Órflaith (however spelled) was the fourth most frequently recorded female name in the annals of 12th century Ireland, and after a long dormant period the name formatted as both Órlaith and Órla became popular in the late 20th century not only in Ireland but also in Scotland despite the name not having a Scottish heritage.

It is quite common even in Ireland to see the name written as Orla, without the vowel lengthening fada accent on the o. Unfortunately, this is exactly the same spelling as the Irish word for the act of vomiting.

Orla is also a male given name in the Danish language.
