Venla is from the Finnish Venla — possibly from the Karelian Wendla (Slavic origin). Venla is the young woman the seven brothers all unsuccessfully court — central to the Finnish national epic of rural life. Aleksis Kivi (1834-1872) is widely considered the father of Finnish-language literature. Today Venla is among the most-popular Finnish girls' names of the 2010s-2020s — consistently in the top 5 Finnish girls' names. The Venla Award (Telvis-palkinto) is the Finnish television award.
Venla does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Venla reduce to 9, The Giver. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
