Meaning & Story
The Italian form of Paula, meaning 'small' — a classic name with Latin elegance.
Paola brings a touch of Italian sophistication to the pet world. It's a name that sounds equally lovely called softly in an apartment or firmly across a dog park. Female pets named Paola often have a quiet dignity about them — graceful without being aloof. The name has been beloved in Latin and Italian cultures for centuries, and it translates beautifully to our four-legged companions.
