In 2025, 31 babies in England and Wales were named Della. In the US, 248 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 1,192 in 1917.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Della was most common in 1880, when it went to 0.40% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
