Reminiscent of well-established choices like Bella and Beulah, but also of trendy options like Baylor, Kayla, and Bailey, Bayla is a name with a variety of different origins. Also spelled as Baila and Baela, this spelling was chosen for 42 girls in the US in a recent year
 
On one hand, Bayla is a Yiddish name, also spelled as Beyle, which could come from the Old Slavic word bělŭ meaning "white". Alternatively, it may have its origins in the Hebrew Bilhah, an Old Testament names borne by one of the four women who gave birth to the tribes of Israel. In this case, it would mean "bashful".
 
Another possibility is that the name is a modern invention, created by blending the sounds of other popular choices, notably Bailey and Kayla. It could then borrow the mean "bailiff" from Bailey, or "crown, garland", "citadel", or "who is like God?" from Kayla. 
 
A less likely root, but still worth noting due to their visual similarities, is the Spanish bailar (bye-lar), meaning "to dance".
