Vennela meaning
Vennela (वेन्नेला) is a Hindu girl's name of Telugu origin. By its first sound, वे, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Mrigashira nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Moonlight
Vennela (वेन्नेला, Telugu వెన్నెల) is the Telugu word for moonlight. Brown's Telugu–English dictionary defines it simply as "moonlight" and lists poetic compounds such as vennela-gutti, "the moon", and vennela-kāru, the clear autumn season after the rains, as well as a fabled bird said to feed on moonbeams. The word is a favourite of Telugu poets and film songs. Name lists give "moonlight", matching the dictionary, and Vennela is a girls' name used mainly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
