Eyla
Meaning of Eyla
Eyla constitutes a feminine given name of dual provenance, originating in both Turkish and Hebrew linguistic traditions; in Turkish, it derives from Ayla, signifying the ring of light that encircles the moon, while in Hebrew it corresponds to Eyla (or Eila), denoting the oak or terebinth tree and thereby connoting durability and organic vitality. Phonetically rendered as /eɪˈlɑ/ in Turkish and /eɪˈlɑː/ in Hebrew, the name has experienced a measured yet consistent ascent within the United States naming landscape, entering the Social Security Administration’s top‐1000 list in 2008 with six recorded births and subsequently stabilizing within the 900–950 rank range, reaching 36 occurrences and a rank of 914 in 2024. Its succinct phonetic profile, coupled with the nuanced interplay of lunar and arboreal symbolism, confers upon Eyla an understated elegance that resonates with parents seeking nomenclature marked by historical depth, cross‐cultural resonance, and contemporary clarity.
