Lylla Origin and Meaning

The name Lylla is a girl's name meaning "night".

Many spelling variations of this beautiful Arabic name can be seen across preschools today, with Lyla, Lilah, and Lila being the most popular. Lylla has been on the rise in recent years, with parents potentially taking inspiration from the talking otter character in Marvel's 2023 film, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. More than 50 girls received the name last year, compared to the 2940 who were called Lyla.

Pronounced LIE-luh, it is worth keeping in mind that just because the spelling is rarer, it will still sound as popular as Lila, Lyla, and Lilah. If the look of the name does appear to you, you might also enjoy Lilla, Linnea or Lylou.
