Layla is a beautiful and unique feminine name of Arabic origin. It is derived from the Arabic word "layl" which means night. The name Layla has been popularized in Western culture through the famous love story "Layla and Majnun," written by Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi in the 12th century. In this tragic tale, Layla is a young woman who falls deeply in love with Majnun, but societal pressures and their families' disapproval keep them apart. Throughout history, Layla has been associated with beauty, passion, and tragedy. Today, it continues to be a beloved name in many cultures around the world.
The name Llayla has been given to a total of five babies born in the United States since 2008. Each year, on average, one baby has been named Llayla, with no significant increase or decrease in popularity over time. This suggests that while it is not a very common name, it is still used occasionally among parents who choose to give their daughters this unique moniker.
