Phylla Origin and Meaning

The name Phylla is a girl's name.

Phylla is a rare feminine name with Greek roots. It may be derived from the Greek word 'phyllon' meaning 'leaf,' giving it a natural, organic quality. Alternatively, it could be a feminine variation of Philo, from the Greek 'philos' meaning 'friend' or 'loving.' The name has a classical, ancient feel while maintaining a simple and accessible pronunciation. Phylla has remained extremely uncommon throughout history, making it an excellent choice for parents seeking a name with historical resonance but little contemporary usage. Its brevity and elegant double 'l' give it a gentle, flowing quality when spoken.
