Diyala, of Arabic origin, is an uncommon yet enchanting given name for females. It means "generous" and is derived from the Arabic word 'dayl', which signifies "abundance" or "plenty". This name holds a distinctively Arabic touch while also being accessible to those with no knowledge of the language due to its phonetic similarity to common English words like "dial" or "die-yala". The four-syllable structure makes it melodic and easy to pronounce. Diyala is often associated with the Diyala Governorate in Iraq, adding a geographical dimension to its appeal. It's a unique choice for parents looking for an uncommon yet meaningful name for their daughter.
"The number of births named Diyala seems to be relatively consistent over time, with six births recorded each in 2011 and 2014, five births in both 2016 and 2018. Altogether, there have been twenty-two babies named Diyala during this period."
