About Eyla
Eyla is a short, melodic feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variant of Isla (Scottish for 'island'), Ayla (Turkish for 'moonlight' or Hebrew for 'oak tree'), or Ella (Germanic for 'fairy maiden'). The name's simplicity and soft sound have made it increasingly popular in recent years as parents seek short, distinctive names with international appeal. Eyla combines contemporary style with a timeless quality. Though still relatively uncommon in most countries, its usage has been growing gradually, especially in Scandinavian regions and among parents drawn to names with nature connections.
Pronounced AY-luh.
As of October 2026, Eyla ranked #3414 in US births in 2025 SSA.
