Shekila Origin and Meaning

The name Shekila is a girl's name.

Shekila is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Shakila or possibly a creative adaptation of names like Sheila with additional syllables. The name may have Arabic roots, as Shakila means 'beautiful' or 'well-formed' in Arabic. Alternatively, it could be a contemporary creation inspired by popular naming sounds from the late 20th century. Shekila has never ranked among popular American names and remains quite uncommon. The name has a rhythmic quality with its three syllables and musical sound. Parents might choose Shekila for its distinctive character while still maintaining somewhat familiar phonetics. The spelling with 'e' rather than 'a' gives it a unique appearance compared to the more traditional Shakila.
