Dayla
Meaning of Dayla
Dayla is largely regarded as an Anglo-American coinage that welds the English word “day,” a shorthand for light and renewal, to the mellifluous -la ending popularized by Kayla, Layla, and Delilah. A minority view traces it to Dale, Old English for “valley,” which tucks a quieter landscape image behind the sunlit façade. First edging onto U.S. birth records in the early 1950s, the name has maintained a low but consistent profile—typically under one hundred girls per year and never rising above the mid-800s in rank—suggesting durability without mainstream saturation. Pronounced simply DAY-luh, it offers a clean two-syllable rhythm that is easy to spell, hear, and recall, yet uncommon enough to avoid classroom duplication. In sum, Dayla marries an optimistic semantic core with understated statistical footing, embodying the modern American penchant for familiar sounds reassembled into something distinctly, if quietly, original.
