Sala, of Latin origin, translates to 'peace' and is derived from the word 'pax'. It's a unisex name but is more commonly used for females. The name Sala gained popularity in the mid-20th century and has since been associated with figures like Sala Burton, an American politician who served in Congress during the 1980s.
"Sala seems to have been a popular name among parents during the late 1960s and early 1970s, with peaks of 9 births in 1971 and 11 births in 1972. However, its popularity fluctuated over the years, with some periods showing no births at all (e.g., between 1984 and 1986). Despite these fluctuations, there were still several recent spikes in popularity: 12 births in both 2006 and 2018, 10 births in 2020, and a record 12 births in 2023. Overall, the name Sala has been chosen for 268 babies since 1966."
