Takiyla, of African origin, is a unique and distinctive female given name that gained popularity in the United States during the late 20th century. Derived from the Arabic name Takiyah, which means "to pile up" or "heap," it is often spelled variations such as Takila, Takiyah, or Tacarra. In some cases, Takiyla may also be associated with African American Vernacular English (AAVE) naming trends, where parents create names by blending sounds and syllables from multiple sources. The name Takiyla is typically given to girls born in the 1970s through the 1990s, reflecting its popularity during those decades.
