Helalia

Melodic and bright, Helalia may be considered an elaborate form of the Arabic and Turkish Hilal meaning "crescent moon", adding to the glowing feel created by its sounds. Alternatively, it might be a form of the Turkish Helal or Helale, associated with the word lale meaning "tulip".

Another interpretation is that it blends the Greek names Helen ("shining light; torch") and Eulalia ("sweetly speaking"), which could give it the slightly poetic meaning of "shining words" or "speaking lightly".

There's also the possibility that it comes from the Spanish and Roman Hilaria, as in the came of Namibian runner, Helalia Johannes, whose full name is Hilaria Lukeiko. This would lend the name the meaning "joy, hilarity".

Pronounced huh-LAH-lee-uh.
