Nilaya

Meaning of Nilaya

Nilaya is a name that feels like a gentle breeze through a sunlit courtyard. It comes from Sanskrit, where it means “home” or “place of rest.” In its soft syllables you can almost hear an echo of the Latin domus, evoking warm hearths and lively familia gatherings. Rare but on the rise—already earning a spot in the US top 1000—Nilaya dances into the world with vibrant energy and a welcoming smile. She’s the friend who brings calm to chaos and inspires others with her quiet strength (no surprise she’s the first one you’ll lean on for a midnight snack!).
