Seyla

Meaning of Seyla

Seyla is a modern feminine given name, pronounced SAY-luh (/seɪˈlə/), that traces its roots to the Hebrew Sela, meaning “rock,” while also nodding to the Latin Celia, “heavenly.” Its phonetic structure—an assertive initial consonant followed by a soft, open vowel—yields a balance of crispness and melodic flow. U.S. Social Security data reveal that Seyla has maintained a low but steady presence: five occurrences (rank 897) in 2001, incremental rises through the 2010s, and a peak of twelve newborns (rank 938) in 2024. Though it has yet to storm the charts, its discreet ascent suggests appeal for parents seeking a name that combines classical gravitas with contemporary distinctiveness. This pattern of measured growth positions Seyla as an analytical choice—subtle, enduring and quietly on the rise.
