Órla, Órlaith, Orla or Orlagh (pronounced OR-lah) is a female given name of Irish origin. It comes from the original Irish spelling of the personal name ''Órfhlaith''. In the Irish language, ''ór'' means "gold" and ''flaith'' means "prince/princess" or "sovereign".〔Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla Niall Ó Dónaill〕 Órla is thus generally considered as meaning "golden prince or princess". The origin of the name dates back to pre-Christian Gaelic Ireland and it is still in use today.〔http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Feminine/Orlaith.shtml〕 It is quite common even in Ireland to see the name written as ''Orla'', without the vowel lengthening fada accent on the ''o''. Orla is also a male given name in the Danish language. People with the name Órla, and its common variants, include: ==Historical figures== * Órlaith íngen Cennétig, Queen of Ireland, died 941. * Órlaith Ní Maoil Seachnaill, Queen of Mide, died 1066. * Órlaith Nic Cennétich, died 1104.
