Trakeila is an uncommon and distinctive given name of American origin, derived from the Native American tribe Tunica. The Tunica people were one of the indigenous tribes living in the Southeastern United States before European contact. The name Trakeila is believed to have originated from their language, possibly meaning 'from across the water' or 'crossing water.' It's a unisex name, although it's more commonly associated with females.
"In 1984 alone, seven children were named Trakeila."
