Laylia
Laylia Origin and Meaning
Laylia is a feminine given name with multiple possible origins, representing a modern variant spelling of Layla or Leila. These names trace back to Arabic origins meaning 'night' or 'dark beauty,' famously connected to the tragic love story of Layla and Majnun in Middle Eastern literature. The spelling Laylia offers a distinctive twist while maintaining the melodic quality of the original. Though less common than traditional spellings, Laylia emerged in the early 21st century as parents sought unique variations of popular names. The added syllable creates a slightly more elaborate sound than Layla, giving it a contemporary yet elegant quality. The name evokes images of night sky beauty and carries romantic, poetic associations across many cultures.
