Now that she has a name, fans are asking about her name. Many fans believe she was named after the late Mary Duggar. According to Nameberry, Mariella means “bitter or wished-for child”.

Amy Duggar King weighs in on baby’s name

Amy King is a cousin of the Duggar family. Her mother, Deanna, is Jim Bob’s sister. Though Amy was raised differently than the Duggar children were, they all seem to be on good terms. They often leave heartfelt comments on each other’s photos on social media.

Deanna and Jim Bob recently lost their mother, Mary. Sadly, Deanna found Mary in her pool unconscious.

Since Mary’s death, Duggar fans have been predicting that one of the new babies born soon will be named after her. Joe and Kendra named their daughter Addison Renee. Josiah and Lauren named their daughter Bella Milagro. Josh and Anna’s little girl was born most recently, and it seems that they decided to honor Josh’s late grandmother.

So far, the couple has yet to state that the baby was named after Grandma Mary. Fans are assuming that she is because their names are so similar.

On Wednesday, Amy shared a post on her Instagram story. The cousin wrote, “Maryella – what a beautiful name!!! Congrats to @annaduggar”. Because Amy shared this comment about the baby’s name, fans believe that the name is very important to the family. Amy and Grandma Mary were very close prior to her unexpected death.
