About Lyla
The Lyla spelling variation has now superseded the original Lila — the former remains on the rise while the latter is consistently falling in popularity.
Celebrity couple Katherine Schwarzenegger and Chris Pratt recently used this version of the name for their daughter, Lyla Maria Schwarzenegger Pratt, born in August of 2020.
The Lyla spelling helps clarify the name's pronunciation, although if we had to choose, we'd stick with the classic Lila. Laila, Layla, and Leila are all further variations on the same theme.
Lyla is also given to boys.
Pronounced LY-luh.
As of October 2026, Lyla ranked #80 in US births in 2025 SSA, Nameberry popularity #445.
