242.0. "Origins of name ORLA needed" by FNYFS::AUNGIER (Rene El Gringo) Mon Jul 27 1987 15:33

    I want to know the origins of the Irish name ORLA and some history
    about the name. I am sure George will have it.

	The name "ORLA" is derived from the GAELIC word "OR" (with an accent over the "O"), which means "GOLD". "ORLA", I believe means "GOLDEN". I have a niece named ORLA, who is not always "as good as gold" ! I hope this helps. The Rose of Tralee.
