X is undoubtedly one of the coolest initials to have, and more parents are agreeing — Xyla entered the Top 1000 for the first time in 2022. Xyla comes from the Greek xylon, meaning "wood" — the same root that makes up the word xylophone (literally meaning "wood sound"). The subtle musical connection in this name may be an additional appeal, though many parents may just be using it as a twist on Tyla, Zyla, Kyla, and Myla.

It may also be worth noting that <em>xylon</em> is used in the Bible to refer to The Cross, giving this a hint of spirituality too, which may draw parents to the name. In a recent year, it was given to 336 babies in the US, placed in in the Top 850.
