Thinking about the name
Pamala
Greek origin
“An alternate spelling of Pamela, maintaining the same etymology of 'all honey' from Greek roots while offering a more distinctive orthography. Pamala was used as a variation particularly in the mid-20th century, giving it a vintage Americana quality. The name preserves the warmth of Pamela with individualized flair.”
