Zailah

Meaning of Zailah

Zailah sparkles with warmth and spirit, a name that dances off the tongue like a breeze through temple bells. Pronounced ZAY-lah, it blends whispers of Arabic charm—where Zayla can mean “protection” or “shade”—with echoes of the Sanskrit Śaila, “mountain,” promising both gentle grace and steady strength. It feels at home in Indian kitchens, echoing the sparkle of diyas at dusk, yet carries enough global flair to stand out on any playground. Rare but steadily rising in the U.S., Zailah is perfect for parents who want a name that’s fresh, heartfelt and full of promise—like a little lantern lighting up life’s next adventure.
