Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Pôvod mena Sanela nie je spoľahlivo objasnený. Uvádza sa možné spojenie s latinským sana, ženským tvarom prídavného mena sanus vo význame „zdravý“. Tento výklad však nie je bezpečne doloženou etymológiou mena, preto nemožno význam „zdravá“ uvádzať ako overený.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Používanie mena a neistý latinský výklad uvádza Behind the Name – Sanela; nejde o dôkaz jednoznačnej etymológie. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou pravidiel vzoru žena podľa Pravidiel slovenského pravopisu. Uvedené domácke tvary sú slovotvorne možné slovenské podoby, nie doložený rebríček obľúbenosti. Medzinárodné podoby zachovávajú pôvodný zápis; samostatné ustálené jazykové ekvivalenty neboli overené.
