Ulla appears among Asher's descendants in the genealogical records of Chronicles. The name is brief and its meaning uncertain, though it may be related to elevation or height. The Septuagint renders it as 'Ola,' showing typical variation in Greek transliteration of Hebrew names. These genealogical records served important functions in post-exilic Israel, establishing tribal identities and land claims when these had been disrupted by exile and foreign domination. Each preserved name represented a family line that maintained Asher's identity across generations.
