About Ryla
Riley is the most popular Irish girls' name in the US as well as the most popular baby girl name starting with R, so it's no surprise that it's spawned legions of variations.
Ryla is one of the rarer offshoots, though about 70 baby girls were called Ryla in the US last year, so it's hardly unique. But as with any name with this many forms, Ryla may feel less rare than you want it to.
Pronounced RY-luh.
As of October 2026, Ryla ranked #2074 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1962 in 2024.
