Laela
Meaning of Laela
Laela (LAY-luh) is an inviting twist on the beloved Arabic name Layla, which means “night beauty” or “born at night.” It carries that same soft, lyrical charm—a gentle moonbeam of a name that feels both poetic and perfectly at home in Anglo-American neighborhoods. Though Laela still flies somewhat under the radar—hovering around #911 in the U.S. for 2024 with 39 tiny originals—the name’s fresh, melodic vibe has already won over imaginative parents seeking something unique but not too out-there. Warm, elegant, and tinged with storybook romance (think starlit balconies and whispered secrets), Laela strikes the ideal balance between familiar comfort and whimsical flair, making it a standout choice for a baby girl ready to shine her own light.
