Shaquila
Meaning of Shaquila
Shaquila, in English pronounced shuh-KEE-luh (/ʃəˈkiːlə/), emerges as a graceful feminine counterpart to the Arabic-derived Shaquille, itself rooted in the word shākil, meaning “handsome” or “well-formed.” Though it has never vaulted into the top tier of American birth charts, Shaquila enjoyed intermittent visibility from the mid-1970s through the early 2000s—peaking at 49 occurrences in 1993, hardly the confetti of a mass trend, yet enough to guarantee a memorable introduction—while consistently ranking between 700 and 900. Its three-syllable melody unfurls like a jazz riff—both assertive and elegant—offering parents a subtle statement of individuality without veering into ostentation. In a landscape crowded with classics, Shaquila stands out as an analytically balanced choice: rich in cultural resonance, warm in auditory texture, and dryly ironic enough to ensure its bearer is rarely mistaken for another.
