Aylah

Aylah is a spelling variant of the on trend Ayla, sharing that -ah ending with other current favorites like Delilah, Savannah, and Norah. Currently in the UK Top 800 and given to almost 200 girls in the US each year, it is becoming increasingly familiar.

Australian model Aylah Peterson is one notable bearer, who spoke of her own name after she featured in a celestial-themed photoshoot for Vogue: My name Ayla...means halo of light around the moon. My mother added the H to the end when I was born, because I come from a family of women who love a bit of extra flair...So it feels fitting for this to be my first cover.

It may well set her apart from the other Aylas (and Islas), however it is unlikely to be someone's intuitive guess at the spelling just yet.

Pronounced AY-luh.

As of October 2026, Aylah ranked #1310 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1148 in 2021.
