Pala is a distinctive and uncommon given name of Greek origin. It means "wild" or "mountaindwelling." This unisex name, while having roots in ancient Greece, has gained attention more recently due to its unique sound and spelling. In some regions, Pala may be associated with the name Paul or Paula due to similarities in pronunciation. However, it stands alone as an independent name with its own history and significance.
"The name Pala experienced varied popularity between 1955 and 1963, with the highest number of births occurring in 1963 at seven. However, it seems the name's appeal waned slightly over time as fewer babies were named Pala in subsequent years."
