About Nylah
Nylah is the Arabic name of a princess -- Nyla is another variation -- that's rising quickly through the ranks, partly thanks to an adorable kitty that enjoyed 15 minutes of YouTube fame. But we predict this attractive and unusual name will get a longer turn in the sun than the pop-culture cat.
Pronounced NY-luh.
As of October 2026, Nylah ranked #504 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #364 in 2019.
