Name Origin
This could be the work of my imagination but I think Villella comes from the words "villa" (house) and "ella or ello" (ending to denote small or smaller) as in cigarillo. It may have been used to differentiate between two men with the same given name (eg. John)before there were surnames. One lived in a small house, John Villella, the other in a larger house, John Villagrande.
